Medical Program Administrative Services and Pharmacy Program Administrative Services
The University seeks an experienced firm to provide Medical Program
Administrative Services and Pharmacy Program Administrative Services for University
Health Benefits. This RFP is part of a competitive procurement process which helps to
serve the University's best interests. It also provides firms with a fair opportunity for
their services to be considered. The process of competitive negotiation being used in this
case should not be confused with the different process of competitive sealed bidding. The
latter process is usually used where the goods or services being procured can be described
precisely and price is generally the determinative factor. With competitive negotiation,
however, price is not required to be the determinative factor, although it may be, and the
University has the flexibility it needs to negotiate with firms to arrive at a mutually
agreeable relationship.
