Emergency Notice - Hospital Report Card - CRF

This emergency contract opportunity is being issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to enable the continued operation of the Illinois Hospital Report Card/Consumer Guide to Health System website. The website is critical to fulfilling IDPH's legislative mandates related to public reporting on hospital quality and providing consumer health information. The requested services include data transfer and management, technical/quality analytics, software upgrades, data formatting and reporting, and other system maintenance activities. IPRO, the current provider and owner of the existing system's source code, has been identified as the sole-source vendor for this emergency contract, which is expected to run from September 29, 2021 to December 27, 2021 at an estimated cost of $55,014. IDPH is developing a new competitive solicitation for these services but requires an emergency extension to ensure uninterrupted website operations until the new contract is in place.

This emergency contract opportunity is limited to IPRO as the sole-source provider, as they are the current vendor and owner of the system's proprietary source code. No other set-aside designations or organizational restrictions are noted. The contract will be funded through state appropriated funds, and IDPH entered into a prior competitive contract with IPRO, which is set to expire on September 28, 2021. This emergency extension is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical public health services and IDPH's ability to fulfill legislative reporting mandates.
