The University awarded a contract for dental equipment and supplies.
Dental supplies and customized dental prostheses for patients.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical services necessary for the delivery of care and treatment at medical, dental, or veterinary teaching facilities utilized by SIU or U of I (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) If this exemption for dental supplies and dental prostheses is not approved, we will not be able to treat all of our patients. This will have a downstream impact on surgical cases, as well as transplant and cancer patients at UI Health, in addition to other ancillary services provided by the hospital and clinics. The resulting reduction in patient care and related clinical services would negatively impact revenue generation and operational efficiency.
