Repost Emergency notice Nursing Home Monitor

The State of Illinois is procuring qualified nursing staff to inspect and monitor nine long-term care facilities that have fallen into financial or physical distress, in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. The procurement is an emergency purchase, with the expected start date of April 22, 2024, and an estimated end date of July 21, 2024. The selected vendor, Certisurv, LLC, has previously provided similar services to the agency and has the ability to respond immediately with trained and certified nursing inspectors. The estimated expenditure for this contract is $96,750, to be funded through federal funds.

While the agency did not utilize the existing Business Enterprise Program to include certified contractors due to the emergency nature of the situation, they indicate that they will do so when establishing a long-term agreement through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. There is a related state and local contract opportunity open for the reposting of an emergency notice for nursing home monitors, with an immediate need for the work to start on the nine nursing homes.
