​​​Ji8¸£ÀûÍø Board is one of largest and most diverse school districts in Ontario, serving 1,213,841 residents over 2,670 square kilometres. The Board currently operates 151 Catholic schools (125 elementary and 26 secondary) throughout Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon and Orangeville, with a student enrolment of approximately 73,000. With over 8,000 employees, the Board is also one of the largest employers in the Region. It is the goal of the Board to provide quality education to students in a setting which fosters Catholic values and beliefs.
Broader Public Sector Procurement Directive (BPS) & the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services initiative is to access Vendor of Record arrangements, which are available to all Public Sector Organizations.
The Board shall encourage cooperative purchasing with other School Boards and other units of Government or their agencies of public authorities, or utilize an existing vendor of record arrangement through Ministry of Government Services contracts, whenever the best interest of the Board will be served.
Alternately, the Board will utilize Bids & Tenders as the online platform for all public procurement opportunities and post all bids for an open, competitive process. Accordingly it is incumbent upon vendors wishing to do business with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board to review and respond to electronically advertised opportunities in a timely manner such as those that appear on Bids and Tenders.
