ILTPP is a statewide cooperative that was developed for schools in Illinois served by the Illinois State Board of Education and its Regional Offices of Education. The goal of ILTPP is to provide a voluntary purchasing program that combines the purchasing power of Illinois school districts and other eligible entities to offer aggressive pricing on technology products and services.
Manufacturer and Reseller Information
ILTPP secures strategic partnerships with some of the most innovative organizations in educational technology. Our partnerships are ongoing, purposeful, substantive and mutually-beneficial collaborations.
Become an ILTPP Contract Holder
Manufacturers and resellers have the opportunity to be awarded an ILTPP contract by winning a Request for Proposals (RFP) or entering a Sole-Source Agreement.
How Sole-Source Agreements Work
- ILTPP Members identify a specific product or service, and ILTPP issues a non-binding commitment survey to determine total quantity.
- ILTPP negotiates with the manufacturer or reseller using the initial commitment numbers to determine tiered pricing schedules.
- Agreements are based on demand and competitive pricing.
How RFPs Work
- ILTPP writes competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) based on non-branded specifications on behalf of our member districts.
- Representatives from the ILTPP Advisory Council evaluate proposals based on the rubric disclosed in the RFP.
- Awards are based on an evaluation process that considers quality, demand, customer service, and competitive pricing.
Schedule
ILTPP negotiates a mix of RFP-backed contracts and Sole-Source Agreements when appropriate. ILTPP only produces RFPs and Sole-Source Agreements for products and services that are requested by ILTPP Members. There is not a pre-determined schedule or order for RFPs or Sole-Source Agreements.
