TRD-9600780 Suzanne Marshall Special Assistant Attorney General Office of the Attorney General Filed: January 18, 1996 Council on Competitive Government Notice of Vendor Forums BACKGROUND: Legislative directives from the Texas Legislature's 74th Regular Session have given the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Council on Competitive Government (CCG) the opportunity to explore ways to make government processes more efficient and cost effective. In particular, House Bill 1863 and Senate Bill 1675 direct HHSC to "integrate and streamline" the various health and human service eligibility determination processes. To encourage cost effectiveness, the Legislature directed CCG to analyze the costs and benefits of competitively bidding certain functions of health and human services. To that end, HHSC and CCG have entered into an agreement with Deloitte & Touche to plan for the integration of health and human service enrollment processes and analyze the costs and benefits of procuring certain functions through a competitive bidding process. VENDOR FORUMS: In order to facilitate an open process, HHSC and CCG are sponsoring monthly Vendor Forums during the planning phase of this effort. If the planning phase indicates that competitively bidding certain health and human service functions will result in cost savings and efficiencies for the State of Texas, then HHSC and CCG want to make sure that the competitive bidding instrument will reflect a fair request for what the market will be able to provide. AGENDAS: The Vendor Forums will be oriented to providing the vendor community information about the planning effort. If a competitive instrument (or instruments) is recommended, HHSC and CCG will be seeking input from the vendor community about how to make the instrument as fair, open and realistic as possible.
