SUMMARY:Meet Metrolinx!
DESCRIPTION:Metrolinx’s procurement strategies are designed to ensure the public receives the best possible project\, maximize competitive and fair bidding with the most qualified vendors\, and ultimately deliver a project in the most cost-effective and efficient way. Depending on the project\, the procurement process may begin either before or after project design has begun. \n\n\n\nMetrolinx is committed to making purchasing decisions based on best overall value using sustainable procurement practices and will consider the sustainable practices of its supply chain during the procurement process. As part of our Sustainable Procurement Policy\, Metrolinx will give first consideration to Indigenous-owned vendors\, second consideration to diverse-owned vendors and third priority to Ontario-based vendors. The policy applies to all procurement activities including goods\, services\, and capital projects\, where applicable and when relevant. The extent to which sustainability will be incorporated into any procurement\, will be dependent on the value\, potential for impact or opportunity\, and/or the market readiness of the vendors. \n\n\n\nServices we are looking to procure: \n\n\n\n• Accounting services• Administrative services• Advertising• Architectural Services• Badges\, plastics\, manufacturing• Computer programming\, software\, and systems• Construction and demolition• Consulting services• Engineering services• Environmental Consulting Services• Executive search services• Human Resources Consulting Services• Interior design services• Janitorial Services• Landscaping Services• Law practices• Marketing Consulting Services• Medical case management services• Office Supplies and Stationery Retailers• Organization development consulting services• Outplacement consulting services• Precision equipment calibration• Printing services• Professional and Management Development Training• Promotional Items• Public Relations Agencies• Safety consulting services• Staffing services• Translation and Interpretation Services• Video production \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Our Team    \n\n            \n                            \n                    \n                                                    \n                                                            \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                Celso Afonseca                            \n\n                                                            \n                                    Manager\, Sustainable Procurement Program                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            \n                                    Metrolinx                                \n                            \n                                                    \n                    \n\n                                    \n                    \n    \n\n\nInterested in learning more about some of our Corporate Partners?
