About this file

This document is Addendum 1 to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) for a Self-Insured Medical Plan, RFP number 26-416CMS-BENF4-B-48962. The addendum was issued on or after September 2, 2025, to clarify requirements and address vendor questions received during the initial solicitation period that began August 22, 2025.

The addendum addresses the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) utilization requirements for this rebid solicitation. The key modification from the original RFP is that vendors must submit new Good Faith Effort (GFE) waiver documentation specific to this solicitation rather than reusing documentation from the previous solicitation 25-416CMS-BENF4-B-46740, as the BEP goal has been adjusted to 3% for this new bid. Supporting documentation submitted with the GFE waiver request remains at the discretion of the offeror. CMS encourages all potential offerors to review the complete proposal package and monitor BidBuy for any additional bid amendments or similar opportunities.
