The Illinois Tollway’s buyers procure most goods and services under the small purchase threshold on a request for quote (RFQ) basis on the State’s e-Procurement system – BidBuy.
Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitations for most goods and services over the small purchase threshold are also publicly bid on BidBuy. You may register to receive email notifications of bid opportunities for state agencies for the commodities that you select. Registration is free. Although registration in BidBuy is not necessary to browse the site, registration is required to receive email notifications for all solicitations, addendums, and award notices.
Each Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) will state how the solicitation will be awarded. IFBs are generally awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. RFPs are evaluated and scored as outlined in the solicitation document.
Each bid document will identify the location, date, and time that the bid is due. The bid must be delivered prior to the start of the bid opening. The Illinois Tollway is not responsible for bids that are delivered to the wrong location or that are late due to weather, third-party deliveries, etc.
Bids that do not arrive at the bid opening location prior to the start of the bid opening will not be considered. If the bid was in the Illinois Tollway’s possession but not at the bid opening due to fault of Illinois Tollway personnel, the bid may be considered. There must be substantive proof that the bid was in the Illinois Tollway’s possession prior to the start of the bid opening.
