Supply Chain and Risk Management Department

The Supply Chain and Risk Management Department (formerly known as the Purchasing Department) is responsible for the procurement of supplies, services, furniture and equipment required by the Board. Staff also provide guidance and support to schools and administrative departments in the selection and acquisition of furniture, equipment, supplies and services.

This department also ensures efficient and timely operation of mail services, as well as ensuring that the Board schools and departments are well served in the areas of central printing services. Staff work to ensure that the public is provided with exceptional and courteous reception services at all times.

Tender Advertising

All opportunities from the Supply Chain and Risk Management Department are advertised electronically on the MERX website. MERX is the most complete source of Canadian public tenders, private tenders, and private-sector construction news available in Canada. MERX has levelled the playing field so that a business of any size can have easy and affordable access to billions of dollars in contracting opportunities with the Government of Canada (GC) and participating provincial and municipal governments.
