Cancellation of Request for Proposals for Third Party Administrator Services

The City of East Orange has issued a formal Notice to Bidders announcing the cancellation of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Third Party Administrator Services. This procurement initiative, originally intended to secure a qualified firm for administering third-party services, has been officially withdrawn. The scope of the original project involved comprehensive administrative support, likely pertaining to benefits management, claims processing, or other outsourced administrative functions critical to municipal operations, although specific details of the services are not provided in this cancellation notice. The cancellation ensures that no further submissions or evaluations will proceed under the original RFP. The cancellation notice itself explicitly states adherence to N.J.A.C. 5:34-9.3, underscoring the legal and procedural compliance of the City of East Orange in its procurement practices. This notice is being distributed to all vendors who previously acquired the bid specifications for the Third Party Administrator Services RFP. Furthermore, the cancellation information is publicly accessible, being posted on the official city website, www.eastorange-nj.gov, and also available for physical inspection at East Orange City Hall, located at 44 City Hall Plaza, East Orange, NJ 07019. No specific contractor qualifications or experience requirements for the now-cancelled RFP are detailed within this cancellation document. The original deadline for the submission of proposals for the Third Party Administrator Services was established for July 9, 2024, at 11:00 am, a date that is now superseded by this cancellation. Consequently, no new submission instructions, bid security, or bonding requirements are applicable, as the procurement process has ceased. Inquiries related to this cancellation or previous RFP might be directed to the City of East Orange's purchasing department. The notice is formally issued by order of the City of East Orange, with Racquel C. Ferguson, QPA, the Purchasing Agent, officially signing off on the document.
