The State of Illinois seeks a private sector proposal to provide a hotline to provide information to healthcare providers and the general public to respond to COVID-19 pandemic-specific questions. The State will evaluate the proposals and make one award for the entire State of Illinois for all-inclusive hotline services. An award will be made to a vendor that can fulfill all the services requested. Partial awards will not be considered. However, the vendor may engage subcontractors to perform part or all of the services. If subcontractors will be engaged, the vendor must include a complete list of all subcontractors, their addresses, and a description of the work each subcontractor will be performing in the proposal.
