First published Monday, February 22, 2021
The University awarded a contract for Student Mental Health Support Program to Morneau Shepell, Toronto, ON, Canada, for an estimated $99,970.
The University has a need to Student Mental Health Support Program. This is needed to provide a student mental health support program for out of state and international students. The end result of this will be connecting students to credentialed staff for ongoing mental health support that is available to University of Illinois students outside the State of Illinois or the United States with 24/7/365 availability.
The University, on information and belief, has concluded that only one vendor can meet its need or can meet the need economically. That vendor is Morneau Shepell. The University has provided detailed justification to support its conclusion as shown on the attached Sole Source Justification Form.
Although the University has presented this as a sole source procurement, we are seeking competitive information from firms with the capability of meeting the University's need (even if performed in a manner different from what has been presented) to contact us and provide sufficient information to show the need can be met. If we receive that information, the Chief Procurement Officer will offer a public hearing to consider the matter. Hearing information is described below.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the student support program is available with unlimited real-time, multilingual crisis support by phone or online.
