The standardization of commonly used furniture products allows the university to select and procure quality furniture products that address the following criteria: aesthetics, durability, ergonomics, functionality, life-cycle cost, maintenance, non-obsolescence, performance, safety, sustainability and warranty.
In 2013, the University of Ottawa issued a competitive market process (RFP) based on these standards to identify products and suppliers that meet the product, service and price criteria. Based on this process, the University created a standing offer for the following category of products:
- Work stations
- Work station accessories
- Training tables
- Meeting tables
- Filing & storage cabinets
- Task chairs
- Meeting room chairs
- Visitor chairs
- Multi-purpose chairs
