In compliance with the Public Sector Procurement Directives, CMEPP has a Vendor of Record (VOR) program. When Suppliers meet clearly defined criteria, they are promoted as qualified VOR Suppliers within the CMEPP Network.
As a Supplier, you have first-hand knowledge of the challenges facing your hospital clients. Our healthcare system is experiencing operational challenges on top of severe resource constraints: a weaker financial position and attracting and retaining staff. All at the same time as they’re undergoing rapid technology transformation.
When Suppliers work with CMEPP, some of those challenges are alleviated. Here are some of the benefits you’ll experience when you work with CMEPP and our Participant community:
We know we’re accountable for a high standard of service delivery. A new Supplier Portal adds another level of transparency in our dealings with our valued Supplier community.
What Suppliers see in the Portal: The Portal contains reports and documentation that relate specifically to each Supplier: a Preventative Maintenance dashboard with a maintenance calendar, completions and expected completion dates. There’s payment information tracking; an active service contracts database; an equipment list; and each Supplier’s Master Service Agreement.
The Portal also give Suppliers access to the Knowledge Centre, a database of articles on how we do things at CMEPP.
Getting started: As an introduction to the Portal, you can watch our Supplier Portal Navigation Video . It gives you a quick overview of the Portal’s components.
We value your opinion: After you’ve spent some time on the Portal, please let us know what you think (support@cmepp.com) and how it can be improved.
In 2023, CMEPP renewed our Vendor of Record Program to be compliant with national procurement legislation, including The Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), The Canadian European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Broader Public Sector (BPS) Procurement Directive (ensuring hospitals achieve value for money in an open, fair and transparent manner).
