Standard purchase order terms and conditions
When incorporated by reference into any duly issued RDCO Purchase Order, the Standard purchase order Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the supplier.
Bid opportunities
The RDCO issues and receives all of its Request for Proposals, Invitation to Tender, Request for Quotes and other competitive procurement processes online through the Bids and Tenders platform. Contractors and suppliers that are interested in supplying goods and services to RDCO can create an account and register for categories they can supply.
The Bids and Tenders platform is also used by two of the RDCO's member municipalities – City of West Kelowna and District of Lake Country. Contractors and suppliers only need to create one account which can be used to access each government's page on the platform through their individual websites.
Disposal of surplus assets
The RDCO disposes of surplus assets, goods, materials or equipment in accordance with the requirements of RDCO's Purchasing Policy. To achieve best value for RDCO, methods employed for the disposal may include: re-use, scrap/recycling, trade-in or public auction.
Where public auction is the chosen method, the RDCO will sell items through one of two public auction websites:
- RDCO eBay for electronic equipment (e.g. computer hardware, mobile phone hardware)
- GovDeals Canada (search by geography or category) for other assets, goods or equipment (e.g. heavy equipment, automobiles, materials)
