Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. In provisions concerning small businesses, HUBZone business contracts, and bid preferences, provides that, if a bidder has failed to be awarded a contract after 4 consecutive bids to provide the same services to a single agency, the applicable chief procurement officer for that agency shall in writing detail why all 4 bids were rejected.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Procurement Code to require state agencies to provide a detailed written explanation when a small business, HUBZone business, or Illinois business bidder fails to be awarded a contract after submitting four consecutive bids for the same services. Specifically, the agency must provide a certified written explanation to the bidder within the same calendar quarter as the fourth bid rejection, detailing why each of the four bids was not awarded. If the agency chooses to provide this information electronically (via email or public procurement bulletin), it must have a written policy ensuring the bidder receives the information. This provision applies to three different sections of the procurement code covering small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and bid preferences for Illinois businesses, and is designed to increase transparency in the state's procurement process by requiring agencies to provide specific feedback to recurring unsuccessful bidders.
