Official Summary Text

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO REVERSE AUCTIONS.
Under Chapter 69 of Title 29 of the Delaware Code, the Section of Government Support Services in the Office of Management and Budget ("Section") is responsible for effectuating the State’s procurement process.

This Act is a Substitute for Senate Bill No. 134. Like Senate Bill No. 134, this Act seeks to modernize the definition of reverse auctions.

This Act differs from Senate Bill No. 134 by providing that the Section is permitted to use reverse auctions only in the procurement of professional services for or related to pharmaceuticals or pharmacy benefits management services.
