About this opportunity

The Illinois Department of the Lottery, through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services, is seeking to increase funding and service hours under an existing legal services contract with GunnerCooke LLP, with the change order notice due for public posting by August 4, 2026.

The change order covers legal support for the Lottery's Private Manager Request for Proposal, including development, review, negotiation, and procurement activities, plus other operational matters. The original contract was executed in 2020; GunnerCooke LLP assumed performance following an approved novation. The Lottery determined that legal service hours were not foreseeable when the contract was established and have exceeded projections during FY26 due to the complexity and scope of the Private Manager procurement initiative. GunnerCooke LLP has developed institutional knowledge of the Lottery's operations, procurement history, and Private Manager Agreement framework, and the Chief Procurement Office concluded that continuity of counsel through a change order represents the most efficient and cost-effective approach rather than re-procurement.

The change order exceeds the $25,000 threshold and therefore requires 14 days of public posting on the Bulletin/BidBuy prior to implementation under Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code. The specific dollar increase is not disclosed in the source material.
