Why us
Procurement-ready. Specification-grade. Ontario delivered.
OECM-eligible procurement
Ontario municipalities, agencies, and Crown corporations purchase directly under OECM Agreement 2025-470 — no open tender or RFP required. The agreement number appears on every quote for your finance team.
Durable commercial-grade build
Government offices see high staff turnover and continuous use. We spec commercial-grade product lines from Global Furniture Group, Teknion, and ergoCentric — built for institutional environments, not residential wear patterns.
Ontario delivery & installation
Delivery and full installation service available across Ontario. Our crew handles assembly, placement, and debris removal — so your municipal office or service centre is operational the same day the truck arrives.
Free space plan
Send us your floor plan — PDF, sketch, or AutoCAD file. We produce a furniture layout and rendering before you approve a single item. Council chambers, service counters, and open-plan admin offices all benefit from a layout review before the PO goes in.

Common questions
What municipal procurement officers ask before sending the PO.
Still have a question? Call 1-800-835-9565 or request a quote and we’ll respond in 1 business day.
01 Which government organizations are OECM-eligible under Agreement 2025-470?
Ontario municipalities (cities, towns, townships, counties, regions), their local boards (police services, public utilities, transit, library boards), conservation authorities, provincial agencies and Crown corporations, and broader-public-sector organizations are OECM-eligible — they purchase from us under Agreement 2025-470 without an open tender. Federal departments use separate procurement vehicles (PSPC). Not sure where your organization sits? Call 1-800-835-9565 — five-minute confirmation.
02 Does your billing meet audit-trail requirements for public-sector procurement?
Yes. Every line-item quote carries the OECM agreement number (2025-470), your PO reference field, and SKU-level pricing that matches the OECM catalog. Invoices reproduce the PO 1:1 by SKU with agreement-number reference. Procurement portals (Ariba, Bonfire, Biddingo, Merx) and MFR-compliant procurement workflows are supported on request.
03 Can you handle multi-department or multi-site municipal rollouts?
Yes — municipal multi-site is most of our government work. We quote per-site or per-department with a master roll-up against your PO, sequence installs against your operational calendar (after-hours, weekend, phased department-by-department), and ship to a single warehouse or direct-to-site. Split billing across departments accommodated on request. One Ontario project manager owns the file across every location.
04 What’s the lead time on a council-chamber refresh or admin-office build-out?
Most in-stock admin and task seating ships within 2–3 weeks of PO. Custom-configured pieces — council-chamber tables, COM-upholstered chairs, secure-records storage — are typically 6–10 weeks. We confirm lead time per line on every quote and sequence the install against your council schedule or municipal renovation window.
05 Do you accept POs, NET-30, and municipal procurement portal billing?
Yes — municipal POs and NET-30 are standard. Procurement-portal formats (Ariba, Bonfire, Biddingo, Merx) and MFR/PSPC-compliant invoice templates supported. We can provide a proforma invoice if your finance office requires it before PO issuance. For OECM orders the agreement number appears on the quote so your procurement office processes it cleanly.
06 Does every quote include a free space plan for council chambers and service areas?
Yes — free 2D layout on every project. Especially useful for council chambers, public-facing service counters, and committee rooms where sightlines, accessibility (AODA compliance), and public-flow constraints matter. Send your floor plan (AutoCAD, PDF, or sketch). On-site measure available when needed.
07 Can you install during business hours without disrupting public services?
Yes — after-hours, weekend, and phased department-by-department installs are standard for occupied government buildings. Our own install crew handles uncrating, assembly, levelling, placement, and removal of old furniture so the space is service-ready by Monday morning. For phased renovations we sequence delivery windows with your facilities team before the first truck arrives.

Common questions
What institutional buyers ask before sending the PO.
Still have a question? Call 1-800-835-9565 or request a quote and we’ll get back to you in 1 business day.
01 Which sectors are eligible to buy under OECM?
Any OECM-eligible organization: Ontario school boards (K–12), publicly-assisted colleges and universities, hospitals and CCACs, municipalities and their agencies, broader-public-sector organizations, and not-for-profits in the social and education sectors. If you’re not sure, OECM publishes the eligible-buyer list on their site, or call us and we’ll confirm in five minutes.
02 What are typical lead times for institutional orders?
Most in-stock items ship within 2–3 weeks. Custom-configured or upholstered pieces are typically 6–10 weeks depending on the manufacturer. We’ll confirm lead time on your quote before you commit, and we flag anything with long-lead items clearly. For time-sensitive projects, tell us your move-in date and we’ll work backwards from there.
03 Do you accept purchase orders and NET 30 terms?
Yes — purchase orders, NET 30, and invoiced accounts are standard. We match your accounts payable process, not the other way around. Credit applications take 1–2 business days. If your organization needs a specific invoice format, PO reference field, or split billing, just let us know on the quote and we’ll accommodate it.
04 Does every quote include a space plan?
Yes — every quote includes a free furniture layout at no charge. Send us your floor plan (even a rough sketch or PDF) and we’ll size the pieces, spec the finishes, and show you what it looks like before you approve anything. For larger fit-outs, our design team will provide a full 2D layout with product callouts and a finish schedule.
05 How does delivery and installation work?
We deliver across Ontario and ship across Canada. Professional installation is available as an add-on — our crews handle uncrating, assembly, placement, and debris removal. For multi-floor or phased projects, we coordinate delivery windows with your facilities team. We can also coordinate after-hours or weekend delivery for occupied buildings where access is restricted during business hours.
