Online Legal Research Platform

The agency is seeking an online legal research services platform to provide comprehensive legal research capabilities to its staff. The platform must offer access to local, state, and federal laws, legislative history, pending legislation, and case law searchable by citation, jurisdiction, and subject. Additionally, the system must link cases to related briefs, codes, regulations, and legislation. The scope of work requires the platform to include secondary sources, subject matter law updates, multiple state surveys, forms, litigation analytics, sample policies, and a tool to review legal briefs for relevant law. The agency also requires a searchable arbitration database specifically for Illinois cases and results. To support staff development, the platform must provide continuing legal education courses, yearly training updates, and artificial intelligence assisted research options. Only United States organizations are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite over a contract period of two years. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently open to budget proposals. The agency requires all clarifying questions to be submitted no later than June 10, 2026. Evaluation of proposals will depend on the bidder's ability to deliver all specified platform features and content databases. The agency will select a vendor who meets these technical requirements and offers a competitive pricing structure for the two-year term.
