Self-Insured Workers Compensation Program Legal Services

The government authority located in Maine requires a vendor to provide legal services for its self-insured workers' compensation program. The selected vendor must deliver legal advice, counsel, and consultations on various workers' compensation matters, answer legal opinion requests verbally and in writing, and prepare written legal opinions. Additionally, the vendor must represent and defend the department's interests before the workers' compensation board and supreme judicial court, handle litigation-related activities such as discovery, court attendance, mediation, and hearings, and coordinate cooperatively with the office of the attorney general as needed. Eligible vendors must perform the onsite work within the USA. Vendors must submit all questions by September 11, 2026, and can submit responses digitally via email or online. The buyer seeks proposals to establish a one-year contract period and has not specified a set budget.
