1-Objection template.docx

This is an objection form template from the City Colleges of Chicago (specifically Dawson Technical Institute's Business and Procurement Services department) designed for companies to formally challenge Sole Source procurement announcements. The template allows objecting parties to contest proposed sole source awards for Athletic Training Services in Illinois, requesting the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent or superior services at a price equal to or below the quoted amount. The form requires submission of standard company and contact information, including company name, contact person, phone number, and email address, along with specification of the relevant sole source number, proposed awardee name, and release date being contested.

The objection form serves as the formal mechanism for interested vendors to request a hearing to discuss their concerns regarding sole source determinations. Completion of this template and submission to the Business and Procurement Services office at Dawson Technical Institute (3901 S. State Street, Room 102, Chicago, Illinois 60609) enables companies to formally register their objections and initiate the hearing process to challenge procurement decisions that may limit competition or exclude qualified providers from consideration.
