Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) tenders
Public school board headquartered in Peterborough, serving Peterborough County, Northumberland, Clarington and the Kawarthas. This page explains where Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board tenders are posted, the $100,000 competitive-bid threshold, and the policies that govern KPR purchasing.
How KPR procurement works
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) procurement runs under Board Policy BA-5.1 and Regulations BA-5.1.1A and BA-5.1.1B, which the board aligns with the Broader Public Sector Procurement Directive of the Ministry of Government & Consumer Services (MGCS). Procurement and Central Services coordinates the acquisition of all goods and services requirements through ethical, accountable sourcing and contracting activities, and bid opportunities are advertised by electronic means in accordance with Board Policy.
The KPR $100,000 competitive-bid threshold
All board acquisitions exceeding $100,000 must be attained through a formal competitive bid process, advertised on the board's bidding website. Below that line, departments still work through Procurement and Central Services, but the formal advertised competitive process applies at and above $100,000 — so vendors selling to KPR should treat that number as the trigger for tender-watch setup. Interested parties are responsible for checking the bidding website regularly, or can register so opportunities are delivered based on their profile.
Where KPR bids are posted and how submissions work
The board advertises and posts bid documents and conducts the bid process electronically through Bids and Tenders at kprdsb.bidsandtenders.ca. Recent KPR invitations to tender state that the board shall only accept and receive electronic bid submissions through the board's bidding system, and that hard-copy bid submissions shall not be accepted — vendors must be registered on the platform before closing day, not scrambling for accounts at it. Procurement inquiries go to the Procurement Business Operations Clerk at [email protected] or 705-742-9773 ext. 2058. Vendors in the Peterborough–Clarington corridor should also watch our school board tenders guide and neighbouring boards.
