CMS L5436 notice of lease award DHS chester

This is a Notice of Lease Award issued by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) for a lease facility located in the City of Chester, Richland County, Illinois. The procurement was posted on December 12, 2025, with a deadline of December 24, 2025. The primary objective of this lease procurement is to secure real property space to support DHS operations in the Chester area. However, the attached documentation—the CPO Procurement Code Exempt Contracts Form v.24.1—indicates that this lease award falls under exemptions to the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500/1-10(b)) and is therefore not subject to standard competitive procurement requirements. The report for November 2025 indicates that no exempt contracts were awarded during that reporting period, though this notice references a lease award determination. The specific deliverables, qualifications, and evaluation criteria for this lease procurement are not detailed in the available documentation, which serves primarily as a compliance and notification document rather than a detailed solicitation.

The procurement documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on respondent types, or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, as this appears to be an exempt contract award notification rather than an open competitive solicitation. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific technology integration requirements are identified in the available files. The form itself serves as a monthly compliance report prepared by the Illinois Department of Human Services' chief procurement officer and functions to document the exemption category and statutory authority under which the lease award was made. The financial value or budget range for the Chester DHS lease facility award is not disclosed in the provided documentation. Interested parties should contact the Illinois Department of Human Services directly for additional information regarding the lease award parameters, property specifications, and lease terms.
