You Spoke, We Listened: Find Supplier Partners Faster with New Marketplace Search Filters

July 20, 2026

Finding Supplier Partners that Serve Your Area in Ontario just Got Easier; new supplier partner search filters are now available on OECM's Marketplace, laptop on desk with screen displaying the expanded location filter dropdown.

At OECM, we’re committed to continuously enhancing the customer experience. Based on feedback received through our Nanos Customer Satisfaction Survey, we’ve introduced new search filters on the OECM Marketplace to make it easier for customers to identify supplier partners that best meet your organization’s procurement needs.

Customers can now quickly narrow supplier partner results by county, district, region, and product/service category, helping streamline the supplier selection process and save valuable time.

New Product/Service Category Filter A Product/Service Category Filter has also been added to most agreements, helping you refine results by the type of products or services you are looking for.

More Ways to Find the Right Supplier

Where available, customers can now combine these new filters with OECM’s existing search options, including:

  • Geographic location (county, district, region, and service area)
  • Product/Service Category
  • OEM
  • Canadian Supplier

These enhancements reflect OECM’s ongoing commitment to listening to customer feedback and continuously improving the Marketplace to make it easier for customers to find the right supplier partners and maximize the value of OECM agreements.

Please Note: All geographical locations and categories are selected by default. Some agreements may not show a filter because the supplier partners serve customers across Ontario, or do not have product and service categories.
