Purchasing

Purchasing is responsible for the competitive procurement process for the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB).

Competitive procurement is the contractual acquisition (purchase or lease) by the RCDSB for assets of any kind, whether goods or services, enabling all qualified, responsible vendors to compete in a fair and open process. We aim to ensure impartiality and transparency throughout our procurement process.
