2022-073-AW - Strategy Discussions for Waste Management

Ryerson University, operating as Toronto Metropolitan University (the “University”), is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to schedule strategy discussions (via a conference call or video call) from interested Suppliers with experience in Waste Management Services.
The intent of these discussions is to obtain feedback from Suppliers to assist the University in developing a more accurate Scope of Work and overall approach for upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) (or more than one RFP) for Waste Management Services.
The University firmly believes that participation will be mutually beneficial to both the Supplier and to the University; however, participation in these discussions are completely optional (for clarity, they are NOT mandatory in order to participate in the future RFP or RFPs).

The format of these strategy discussions will be via informal, and performed via a conference call or video call (on a “1-to-1” basis between each Supplier and the University). The University anticipates spending about forty-five (45)  minutes on each call. The content and topics of the strategy discussions are shown in Section 3. The University is NOT requesting a formal written response to these questions or topics (as common in most RFI’s). All information will be collected via the conference call / video call.

The University will not disclose (or share) the contents of each discussion with each supplier (this will not be made public). However, the University does intend to use information gathered from each discussion to help shape the strategy and path forward on a future RFP. The University reserves the right to cap the number of RFI sessions it will hold.
