How to Select a Final Service Provider
- 9 steps
1
Navigate to [Ontario Exchange | eCampusOntario](https://exchange.ecampusontario.ca/)

Once you have spoken with a few service providers, and have decided on the final service provider that you would like to work with, you and your service provider must negotiate a Client-Supplier Agreement (CSA). The CSA is where final\
project terms like scope/deliverables, timeline and budget will be set. Once you\
and your supplier have agreed upon and signed a CSA, it can be uploaded to the OEX platform via your project card along with your selection of a final service provider.

To choose the final service provider and to upload the signed CSA, **click "Actions" button** and then **"Select Final Service Provider."**

**Select the final service provider** from the drop-down list.
5
Click **"Upload Agreement"** to upload the signed CSA.
6
Click **"Click to Add File"** to select the correct file for upload.

After uploading the Client-Supplier Agreement (CSA), click **"Close."**
8
The project card status will be updated to **"Active Project.**"

The OEX team will take some time to review your CSA.
For **Service Provider Support (SPS)** projects, you and your service provider can begin work once the CSA has been signed.
For **Project Management and Service Provider Support (PMSPS)** projects, the OEX team may reach out via email with feedback on the CSA. Should your CSA be approved, we will also reach out via email. Note: Work shall not begin without OEX approval of an executed CSA. After receiving your email approval, you and your service provider may start the project!
