The non-competitive contract will be for an initial one (1) year term with an option to renew for one (1) additional year.

\r\n\r\n
A Producer Responsibility Organization is an organization registered with the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority to provide collection, material recovery, and administration services to producers of designated wastes as an alternative to establishing a management system of their own. For producers of Blue Box materials, services provided by a Producer Responsibility Organizations enable them to meet their regulatory obligations to manage all the designated packaging, printed paper and packaging-like products that they supply into the Ontario marketplace.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto entered into a Producer Services Agreement with Circular Materials Ontario in 2023 to ensure its compliance with Provincial regulation. The decision to pursue a non-competitive procurement was due in part to the limited timeline for the Province's transition to Extended Producer Responsibility and the City's associated timeline constraints to execute on transition requirements. At the same time the City determined that it was advantageous to enter into an agreement with Circular Materials Ontario as they are the administrator of the Common Collection System for the Blue Box Program. Furthermore, Circular Materials’ dominant position in the Ontario marketplace, along with the existing contractual arrangement with the City as Circular Materials’ recycling service provider during the transition period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025, made Circular Materials the preferred Producer Responsibility Organization for managing the City’s obligations.

While many customers find paying bills, fees, permits, and fines using digital payment methods easier and more convenient, some prefer making payments by cash or cheques, or through their own financial institutions. As technology and payment trends continue to evolve, the City is comprehensively assessing the different payment solutions offered and considering how to improve the customer experience to serve Toronto's diverse and multi-generational population.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is firstly to summarize the research conducted and provide an overview of the City's payments landscape. This report also identifies the following policy objectives that form the proposed Payments Modernization Framework, that will guide the City's approach to developing, designing, and implementing its payment strategy:
\r\n\r\n
1. Provide customers choice and convenience through multi-channel options;
\r\n\r\n
2. Provide a consistent and modern payment experience with minimum standards that can be adapted to Divisional needs; and,
\r\n\r\n
3. Ensure a transparent approach for establishing and managing transaction fees.
\r\n\r\n
If adopted, the objectives will guide the evaluation of existing payment options offered by the City, and a strategy for future payment options and processes. Staff will report back to the General Government Committee by the fourth quarter of 2025 with a Payments Modernization Strategy, including a recommended implementation approach, and whether a procurement is needed to enable implementation.
