Reason for selection of this particular vendor:

As described in the June 2025 Emergency Purchase Statement #25-426DOC-CENTO-B-48411 (“June EPS”) and the July 2025 Emergency Purchase Statement #26-426DOC-SOURC-B-48756 (“July EPS”), the Illinois Department of Corrections (“IDOC”) selected, under emergency authority, Centurion of Illinois, Inc. (“Centurion”) to replace its longstanding provider of comprehensive medical and mental health services, Wexford Health Sources, Inc. (“Wexford”). In a competitive procurement process that began in January 2023, Wexford had been selected to continue as IDOC’s health services vendor. However, despite more than a year of effort, IDOC and Wexford had been unable to negotiate a contract. Ultimately, IDOC concluded that the RFP no longer adequately represented its needs and was no longer in the best interests of IDOC and the State, and that therefore, IDOC would cancel the RFP.

Given the urgent need to ensure adequate uninterrupted healthcare services during the development of a new procurement, the State determined that it would be in its best interest to transition services to a new contractor. Centurion was selected based on its successful transitions in large state systems, such as Florida and Georgia, jurisdictions comparable to Illinois in terms of complexity and scale. In these other states, Centurion has been able to rapidly achieve targeted staffing numbers in order to ensure high-quality medical and mental health services. As explained in the June EPS and July EPS, IDOC considered whether it could use a more competitive process of source selection. However, such competition was not practicable.

As described in the July EPS, IDOC and Centurion contemplated a 90-day transition, during which Centurion would plan to assume responsibility for comprehensive medical and mental health services for individuals in custody. However, despite weeks of effort to negotiate with Wexford to continue to provide services during that 90-day period, it became apparent by July 21, 2025, that a contract with Wexford for services beyond July 29 would not be immediately forthcoming. As a result, IDOC issued the July EPS on July 24, 2025, and Centurion began providing comprehensive medical and mental health services on July 30, 2025.

Because Centurion is now providing health services in IDOC facilities, IDOC has selected Centurion for this EPS to ensure continuous medical care for the individuals in IDOC custody.

Description of supplies or services to be provided:

Vendor is to provide the medical, dental, vision, audiology, pharmaceutical and mental health services for individuals in custody at specified State correctional centers. Under the direction of the IDOC Medical Director and the IDOC Chief of Mental Health Services and according to the program definitions and specifications as outlined in this contract, Vendor is to arrange and
