Emergency Extension Notice- Hospital Report Card - CRF

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), is seeking to extend an emergency contract with Island Peer Review Organization (IPRO) for the Illinois Hospital Report Card and Consumer Guide to Health Care System website. The original emergency contract, valued at an estimated $55,014, was awarded for the period of July 1, 2021 to September 28, 2021. IPRO is the sole owner of the system's source code and is the current vendor, so maintaining continuity of service requires an extension of the contract until a new competitive solicitation can be completed. The extension is requested to run from September 29, 2021 to December 31, 2021 at an additional estimated cost of $55,014. The scope of services includes data management, quality analytics, system maintenance and upgrades, and reporting requirements as specified in Illinois law.

The hearing on the proposed contract extension is open to the public and will be held virtually on September 29, 2021 at 1:00 pm. Interested parties wishing to provide testimony should notify the hearing contact person in advance. The contract extension is necessary to ensure uninterrupted maintenance of the hospital reporting systems in order to keep the department aligned with public law and new national quality improvement objectives. The BidBuy reference number for this opportunity is 22-482DPH-INFOT-B-24896. No additional details on set-asides, funding sources, or other contractual terms were provided in the notice.
