This bill mandates that the Director of the Division of Purchase and Property in the Department of the Treasury enhance the notification process regarding contracting opportunities specifically for vendors or potential vendors interested in providing home health care services to State agencies. The bill stipulates that notifications must be timely and include information about applications, renewals, deadlines, reprocurement bidding, new contracts, or extensions of existing contracts. This notification is to be in addition to existing requirements under current law or regulation.
The bill outlines specific methods for disseminating this information, including posting it on the division's website, notifying current contractors when new opportunities arise, and reaching out to interested parties who have provided their contact information. Furthermore, the director is required to communicate with interested vendors through at least two additional methods, which may include direct communication via telephone, fax, email, or certified letter. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment.
