Opus Group: ILLINOIS PROGRAM TO BE RE-BID

STOCKHOLM, Sweden--()--Regulatory News:

The Opus Group Board of Directors has decided to accept the decision of the Illinois Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) to cancel the Illinois Request for Proposal (RFP), which had previously been awarded to Opus Inspection, Inc. The CPO found that the RFP was ambiguous and no longer represented the best interest of the state. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expects to issue a new RFP in the near future for the operation of the Illinois vehicle inspection program. Opus looks forward to this RFP and participating in the new process.
