About this file

This document contains vendor instructions to submit pricing for Bid #B-14561 issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State will not accept paper or manual submissions. Instead, vendors must submit their technical proposal and all required documentation under Bid #B-12595, and their pricing proposal under this separate Bid #B-14561. Vendors are instructed to attach their completed pricing document in the Attachments tab, as the Items tab has been disabled for direct pricing entry. This pricing-only bid is related to a contract opportunity for the Department of Central Management Services to procure group life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance services for its employees and annuitants under Bid #B-12595.

The document outlines the rationale for the separate technical and pricing submissions, referencing CPO Notice 2020.06 which provides further details on this process. Vendors are advised to review this notice and contact the Chief Procurement Office for General Services if they require additional information.

Vendor Instruction to Submit Pricing for B-14561

This BID is to submit pricing only. Technical responses and other required documentation must be submitted on Bid #B-12595

Create quote:

Items Tab – Pricing has been disabled in the Items Tab. You will not be able to input pricing here. All pricing will be attached in the Attachments tab.

Attachments Tab - Attach a completed Pricing document

Due to the Governor’s COVID-19 disaster proclamation, the closure of many State buildings, and the compelling interest in stopping the spread of the virus, State agencies will not accept offers via paper or manual submission. To allow electronic submittals for Request for Proposals, vendor submissions must be divided into two BidBuy Bids: one for the technical proposal and to attach all required documentation and the other for pricing. This ensures the vendor’s pricing proposal remains sealed until after technical evaluations are completed. For further information please see CPO Notice 2020.06 here: https://www2.illinois.gov/cpo/general/Pages/CPONotices.aspx.

Or call the Chief Procurement Office for General Services at 217.622.1857.
