Ill. Admin. Code tit. 44 § 1.1535

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 1.1535 - Vendor Portal

a) In consultation with the PPB and State agencies, the CPO-GS may operate a vendor portal, use another CPO's vendor portal, or jointly operate a vendor portal with other Chief Procurement Officers if a single portal better serves the needs of State agencies and the vendor community. A vendor portal shall allow prospective vendors to:

1) Provide certifications, disclosures, registrations and other documentation needed to do business with the State in advance of a particular procurement;

2) Submit the vendor's registration number, with a confirmation the portal information is current, as part of the vendor's response to a competitive solicitation or a contracting process.

b) The CPO-GS may accept the registration of a vendor from another CPO's vendor portal provided the portal information is current, in lieu of certifications, disclosures, registrations and other documentation needed to do business with the State in advance of a particular procurement.

c) Those documents in the vendor portal that contain information required by the Code to be included in a contract, including but not limited to financial disclosures and conflicts of interest and certifications, shall be included in the contract filed with the Comptroller. For example, business and directory information is not required by the Code to be included in a contract and is not required to be filed with the Comptroller as part of the contract.
