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 process is to be in addition to existing requirements under current law or regulation.
The bill outlines specific methods for notification, which include posting information on the division's website, directly informing current contractors when new opportunities arise, and reaching out to interested parties who have provided their contact information. Additionally, the director is required to communicate with interested vendors through at least two methods from options such as telephone, fax, email, or certified letter. This approach aims to ensure that all eligible vendors are adequately informed about contracting opportunities in the home health care sector.
