The University awarded a contract for CPS Athletics Digital Broadcast Advertising to MVP Sports Marketing, Chicago, IL, for an estimated $695,000.
The University has a need for title sponsorship and commercial advertising during live digital video broadcasts of Chicago Public Schools, high school sporting events. This is needed to promote the University's campus to prospective students and their parents. The end result of this will give the University exclusive and premier advertising placement with Chicago Public School District.
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 (vendor name). 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 media is for advertising.
