Approval provides Ontario’s education sector and broader public sector organizations with a streamlined path to procure janitorial services through OECM’s competitively sourced agreements
MILTON, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2026 / Facility Network, a Canadian hybrid facility services company, today announced it has been approved as a supplier partner with the Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM) for Janitorial and Cleaning Services. The approval follows OECM’s open, fair, and transparent competitive procurement process, through which supplier partners are evaluated on service quality, pricing, compliance, and reliability.
OECM is a not-for-profit collaborative sourcing partner serving Ontario’s education sector, municipalities, and broader public sector (BPS) organizations. By pre-negotiating agreements with vetted suppliers, OECM enables public institutions to procure services in alignment with the Broader Public Sector Procurement Directive without conducting their own lengthy tendering processes.
For OECM-registered organizations – including school boards, colleges, universities, municipalities, and other BPS institutions – the agreement means Facility Network’s janitorial and cleaning services can now be procured directly through OECM’s marketplace. Depending on an organization’s requirements, this can help:
- Simplify procurement by reducing the need for individual RFP or tender processes
- Provide access to competitively sourced, pre-negotiated pricing
- Reduce administrative burden associated with contracting
- Shorten implementation timelines for cleaning programs, subject to site conditions and operational requirements
“Public sector organizations are being asked to maintain clean, safe facilities across multiple sites while managing tighter budgets and heavier procurement workloads,” said Rick Bentley, Managing Director, Janitorial at Facility Network. “OECM approval means those organizations can bring us in through an agreement that has already been competitively sourced and vetted. What they get on the other side of that agreement is our own people – in-house cleaning teams, coordinated through centralized dispatch, with a single point of accountability for service quality across every location.”
Unlike a broker or vendor marketplace, Facility Network owns operational accountability from dispatch through completion, verification, documentation, and invoicing. The company delivers its janitorial and cleaning programs through in-house cleaning teams supported by centralized dispatch and operational oversight – an approach designed to support consistent, accountable service delivery for organizations operating across multiple locations.
The OECM approval extends Facility Network’s work with public sector clients and reflects the company’s continued focus on serving multi-site organizations across Canada with accountable, consistently delivered facility services.
OECM-registered organizations can learn more about procuring Facility Network’s janitorial and cleaning services through the OECM Marketplace, by visiting www.facilitynetwork.com/our-services/janitorial-services, or by contacting Facility Network directly.
