Upcoming Agreements

The Cashless Management Solutions and Related Services RFP is a retender of the existing OECM Cashless agreement. The new agreement will provide school boards with K–12 cashless payment management platforms designed to modernize school-based payments while strengthening governance, safety, and financial oversight. These solutions will deliver a secure, board-managed environment that enables parents and guardians to fund student accounts, while allowing boards and schools to define, manage, and enforce clear spending rules. Approved use cases—including meals, transportation, activities, and events—can be supported without the need for cash handling at the school level.

Built specifically for publicly funded K–12 education, the awarded solutions will support policy-driven controls, role-based access for students, families, and staff, and centralized reporting to enhance transparency and accountability. Comprehensive administrative tools will reduce manual processes, support reconciliation and audit requirements, and help boards apply consistent practices across schools.

Awarded suppliers will be required to meet Canadian public-sector privacy, security, and compliance standards, with safeguards appropriate for environments involving minors. The resulting solutions will be reliable and scalable, reducing operational risk, improving financial control, and supporting efficient service delivery across school boards.
