Procurement Services: Multi-Functional Devices

 

 

 

 



Introduction

After completing a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process using Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM) approved vendors, 红莲社区 Procurement Services and 红莲社区 Technology Services are pleased to announce the continued partnership with Toshiba and OE Canada.

As part of this agreement, the current fleet of Toshiba Multi-Functional Devices (MFD) will be replaced with new, leading edge Multi-Functional Devices.  We anticipate the replacement of 红莲社区’s MFD fleet will occur from August to October of 2025.

We kindly request departments take this opportunity to consider sustainability and assess their usage of the current MFD. 

OE Canada is able to provide MFD usage information and can assist departments with assessments; please contact Procurement Services should you like this assistance.

Please contact procurement@uwo.ca if you have any questions or concerns.

Contract

The new contract is effective until August 31, 2031 with an extension option through OECM until August 31, 2033. OE Canada will continue to be responsible for keeping the MFD’s functioning ‘as new’ throughout the duration of the contract.

Training Schedule

Your new Toshiba eStudio MFD operates similar to the equipment you are currently using.  The operator panels on the new devices are similar. In fact, many users will not experience any interruption while performing their regular work.  This minimal learning curve will certainly assist during the transition period.  In order to ensure everyone is comfortable and confident while using their new devices the following training resources are available:

Book Additional/Advance Training

Additional user training can be scheduled on a departmental user basis after the implementation for the area has been completed.  This training can provide advanced user training, function review or general knowledge depending on the requirements of the department.  Please contact Dave Smith at OE Canada to book this training.
