bids&tenders™ has arrived

Toronto District School Board (TDSB) would like to introduce bids&tenders™, a leading e-bidding system that makes it easy for you to review, register and submit bids for goods and services online, 24/7. We’ve joined hundreds of purchasing agencies who have already made the switch.

You will need to  subscribe to bids&tenders™ as a vendor to continue receiving notices and submitting bids by September 7, 2017. If you already have a bids&tenders account, no action is required as your existing subscription will automatically give you access to TDSB notices and bids.

How it works
Subscribe, create your profile, select your categories and notifications, and bid. It’s that easy.

Subscription

A one-time, pay-per-bid option is also available at $45/bid.
