Statewide Medical Cannabis Program Education and Training Services

The Illinois Department of Public Health seeks a qualified vendor to provide statewide medical cannabis program education, training, and outreach services. The selected contractor must perform educational needs assessments, develop standardized curriculum aligned with state statutes, deliver training to health care providers, patients, caregivers, and local health departments, and improve registry system utilization. Only onshore United States organizations are eligible to bid, and the vendor must perform the work offsite at their own office premises. Bidders must submit questions no later than November 2, 2026. Proposals and firm pricing must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system, adhering to strict upload guidelines so price data remains hidden until technical evaluations finish. The State evaluates technical capabilities and commitment to diversity proposals before opening price proposals, disqualifying vendors that fail to meet minimum point thresholds.
