Procurement
To help maximize the value of taxpayer dollars that state agencies spend on goods and services, the Bureau of Strategic Sourcing (BOSS) works closely with the State's Independent Chief Procurement Office (CPO) to provide improved transparency, accountability and cost savings in the procurement process.
While most procurement oversight is performed by the CPO’s Office, procurement functions such as determining what needs to be purchased and what quantity, and drafting solicitation documents (i.e. Requests for Proposals, Requests for Information, Invitations for Bids, and the like) are performed by State Agency personnel.

BidBuy – Illinois eProcurement
State Agencies and the Chief Procurement Office for General Services (CPO-GS) use BidBuy to advertise solicitation opportunities, evaluate bids and publish contract awards. It is the State’s primary solution for sourcing and placing orders from vendors in a number of areas — including Equipment / Commodities, IT / Telecom, Facilities and General Services.
Vendors can register on BidBuy to review requests for information or proposals and receive updates on procurement rules and requirements.
