Digital Transformation & Modernization Program Office Renewal

The Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) is renewing its contract with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for continued support of the Digital Transformation & Modernization Program Office (DTMPO). This renewal represents a continuation of consulting services focused on digital transformation and modernization initiatives within the state. The contract renewal is being issued at no additional cost to the state and will extend services for a six-month term, with a new end date of August 31, 2026. The procurement notice was posted on February 28, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 16, 2026. While specific deliverables and detailed objectives are not extensively outlined in this renewal notice, the engagement involves ongoing strategic consulting work related to the DTMPO RFP (Request for Proposal) process. To date, ILSOS has contracted for a cumulative total of $25,105,000 with BCG under this arrangement.

This contract renewal is a non-competitive continuation with the incumbent vendor, Boston Consulting Group, indicating that this procurement is not open to general competition. The renewal extends the existing agreement with 7 years and 8 months of available renewal periods remaining beyond the current six-month term. As this is a renewal of an existing contract rather than a new competitive procurement, specific set-aside designations, minority or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, and evaluation criteria are not addressed in the renewal notice. The cumulative contract value of $25,105,000 reflects the significant investment ILSOS has made in BCG's consulting services since the original agreement's inception. No additional budget allocation is required for this renewal period, as it is provided at no cost to the state.
