In anticipation of contract expiration, a competitive procurement for payment processing services commenced in June 2024. However, the procurement was paused as staff focused on exploring opportunities to modernize the City's payments landscape. This work is ongoing, and as a result, staff require a non-competitive agreement with Moneris to support continuity of services to process credit and debit card payments. The three-year contract extension term will provide sufficient time for City staff to complete a new competitive procurement in alignment with broader organizational initiatives aimed at enhancing the City's overall payment environment. City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Procurement By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).
