Property Rights

Section 1 Section 1.25  Property Rights No person shall have any right to a specific contract with the State unless that person has a contract that has been signed by an officer or employee of the purchasing agency with appropriate signature authority.  The State shall be under no obligation to issue an award or execute a contract. [30 ILCS 500/1-25]  No person who participates in a procurement action has any right to an award or subsequent contract.  No notice of award can be issued and no contract can be executed without the determination of the CPO-GS, SPO or designee.  Receipt of a solicitation or procurement document, or submission of any response to a solicitation or other procurement request, solicited or otherwise, confers no right to receive an award or contract, nor does it obligate the State in any manner.
