Illinois SBM Project Management Services

The Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI) is soliciting proposals to select a Contractor to provide Project Management (PM) services to support implementation planning for the development of a State Based Marketplace (SBM) in Illinois. Illinois Public Act 101-0649 required the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in consultation with IDOI, to oversee a feasibility study that explored policy options to make health insurance more affordable and accessible for low- and middle-income residents. The development of an Illinois specific state-based exchange was one of the feasibility studies recommendations. As a result of P.A. 103-0103, Illinois is transitioning from a Federally Facilitated Marketplace for Plan Year 2024 to an SBM-Federal Platform for Plan Year 2025 to an SBM by Plan Year 2026. This initiative is new to Illinois, and this procurement will solicit the experience and expertise of a contractor that has previously worked in this space.

Vendors should not direct questions or discuss this solicitation with any State of Illinois employee other than the identified solicitation contact. All questions about the solicitation should be directed in writing to DOI.SBMProcurement@Illinois.gov. No phone calls will be accepted. Responses to all written questions will be posted to this website and vendors should monitor the webpage for responses to questions and updated information.

*Proposals that do not include a Business Enterprise Program Utilization Plan will be disqualified.
