Please note this is not an RFP. No RFP is attached.

OECM, a collaborative sourcing organization, has issued a non-binding RFP, as noted above on the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) . 

There are numerous benefits for doing business with OECM. Refer to our website at https://oecm.ca/suppliers/ for more information.

The objective of the RFP is to award Master Agreements to up to three (3) qualified Suppliers for the provision of Cashless Transaction Management Solution and Related Services on a non-exclusive and as-and-when required basis for OECM Customers.

Proposals will be evaluated in seven (7) stages, as detailed in Part 3 of the RFP.

If a qualified Supplier is a subsidiary of another corporation, part (i) of the definition above is met if that qualified Supplier is controlled by a corporation that has its headquarters or main office located in the U.S.
