Introduced Session

This bill requires the Director of the Division of Purchase and Property in the Department of the Treasury to provide additional notification of contracting opportunities to vendors or potential vendors who are providing or are interested in providing home health care services to those State agencies who use such services. Under the bill, the notification would be: 1) posted on the Internet website of the division at a location where such information is updated regularly and easily accessible; 2) provided to vendors or potential vendors who are under contract to provide such services to State agencies at the time additional or new information regarding increased contracting opportunities becomes available; 3) provided to persons or business entities that have shown an interest in receiving such information as it becomes available by providing contact information to the division; and 4) provided to any other vendor or potential vendor requesting such information who is not barred or otherwise ineligible from bidding for or receiving a public contract. This notification to vendors and potential vendors would be in addition to the notification of contracting opportunities for such services required pursuant to current law or regulation. The bill provides that in addition to Internet notice, the director must provide notification in a timely manner to all interested and eligible vendors and potential vendors in at least two of the following forms, as may be determined by the director on a case by case basis: direct communication with the vendor or potential vendor by telephone, fax or other electronic telecommunications device, direct communication by e-mail, or by certified letter.
