What Illinois agencies are planning

Upcoming projects, grants and hiring found in council minutes and budget hearings, before the solicitation.

OpportunitySince September 2025, District 214 has been running a four‑phase community engagement process with EOSullivan to plan long‑term capital improvements, focusing on safety/security, infrastructure, mechanical systems, STEAM spaces, and classrooms. By Phase 3 (April–June 2026), the district had presented three scaled options to the community, refined the scope to a $300–$450 million cost range (roughly a 50% reduction from prior concepts), and gathered extensive survey and committee feedback on project priorities and affordability. The analysis suggests an “Option 2 or 2+” package under roughly $400 million could achieve community consensus, and notes that the community would be willing to consider a referendum as early as the November 2026 election if the Board chooses. No design firms, construction managers, or implementation vendors are yet selected for the eventual projects, so this is a prime pre‑RFP window for AEC, facilities planning, security, mechanical, and EdTech vendors to help the district translate this capital vision into specific, sequenced, and bid‑ready projects.Township HSD 214 · Jun 25, 2026$400,000,000OpportunityLisle CUSD 202 approved and released its FY2027 tentative budget on June 22, 2026, totaling about $46.7M in direct expenditures across all funds. The plan includes significant allocations for salaries/benefits, purchased services, supplies, non‑capital equipment, and a smaller but focused $250,000 capital outlay line. The budget details line items for IT/data systems, curriculum resources, special education services, facilities maintenance, transportation, and professional development, signaling where the district expects to spend in 2026‑27. Vendors can use this as early intelligence on which areas have active or growing funding, such as software licenses (Skyward, LINQ, Discovery Education), data hosting/migration, contracted student services, transportation, and facilities improvements. The budget is still tentative and will be reviewed by the Finance Committee, with a public hearing and final adoption scheduled for September 28, 2026, giving sellers a several‑month window to align proposals with funded priorities and help refine implementation plans within approved categories.Lisle CUSD 202 · Jun 22, 2026$46,687,328OpportunityCDW-G and Virtucom are in the second and final renewal for Windows and Chrome devices and related services through August 31, 2026, under a $34.6 million authority. Over $10.2 million has already been spent in the current report period alone. This signals a likely large-scale refresh or new multi-year device procurement for 1:1 and lab fleets that competitors in hardware, leasing, and lifecycle services should begin targeting now.Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 · Jun 25, 2026$34,600,000OpportunityThe Village Board received a first reading of Ordinance 26-14 to approve a preliminary plat of subdivision and special use permit, with waivers, for an 11-acre warehouse and light manufacturing redevelopment at 8125-8145 River Drive and 8120-8140 Lehigh Avenue. The applicant, Midwest RE Acquisitions, proposes a 169,698-square foot single-tenant industrial building for BBJ La Tavola, including office space, parking, landscaping, and compliance with the 40-foot building height limit. The Plan Commission has now unanimously recommended approval with conditions relating to truck traffic, final design, and infrastructure improvements, but the Board has not yet taken action as this was a first reading only. This sets up substantial site design, infrastructure, landscaping, and tenant improvement work once entitlements are finalized. Vendors in industrial construction, engineering, stormwater, environmental services, and interior buildout can position for upcoming implementation and fit-out contracts tied to this large redevelopment.Morton Grove village (pt.) · Jun 9, 2026$30,800,000117 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →

Recent projects and awards in Illinois

Contract awards and project updates from public meetings, largest and newest first.

Southern Illinois University’s Board approved a three‑year Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the entire SIU System, purchased through CDW Government, LLC under an IPHEC contract. The agreement, not to exceed 1750000 over three years, covers Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and shared device licenses used extensively in instruction, academic support, and administrative workflows. The decision maintains broad campus access rather than moving to limited per‑user licensing, which leadership concluded would be disruptive. For IT and EdTech vendors, this confirms Adobe as the entrenched content and document platform across SIUC (including the School of Medicine) and SIUE through roughly mid‑2029, and indicates ongoing needs around integration, training, accessibility, workflow automation, and potential complementary tools rather than replacement in the near term.Contract Award · Southern Illinois University-System Office · Jackson County · Jul 9, 2026$1,750,000Southern Illinois University Edwardsville received Board approval to renew its three‑year professional services contract with EAB Global, Inc. for enrollment marketing, recruitment, and yield optimization for undergraduate students. The contract runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, with a not‑to‑exceed value of 3575079 including 3116181 in program fees and an estimated 458898 in postage and media. EAB will continue to provide data‑driven recruitment campaigns, predictive modeling, and access to approximately 390000 prospective student names annually, helping SIUE sustain its enrollment pipeline and tuition revenue. For competing enrollment platforms, CRM, financial‑aid modeling firms, or creative agencies, this is critical incumbent intelligence and a signal that any displacement or add‑on conversation must be framed around integration, incremental value, or positioning ahead of the next rebid window near 2029.Contract Award · Southern Illinois University-System Office · Jackson County · Jul 9, 2026$3,575,079The council will award a $13,199,000 contract to Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Inc. for Wastewater Treatment Plant improvements. This is a major capital upgrade, and the prime construction vendor is selected. Subcontractors and solution providers for process equipment, controls, electrical, and odor or energy systems may still find opportunities during implementation and for future phases or optimization.Contract Award · Town of Breese · Clinton County · Jul 7, 2026$13,199,000Aurora plans to award the Sans Souci Dr and Cobblestone Dr water main replacement project in Ward 5 to Winninger Excavating for $1,599,570. This is a significant underground infrastructure job indicating active renewal of the water system. Construction and utility service vendors can treat Winninger as the prime for potential subcontract work and look for related paving, restoration, and inspection needs nearby.Contract Award · Town of Aurora · Kane County · Jul 7, 2026$1,599,570Loves Park approved a design-build agreement with Ringland-Johnson Inc. for multiple interior improvement and addition projects at city facilities. Scope includes Fire Station #2 bunkhouse addition and remodel, Water Department office renovation, City Hall restroom and break room upgrades, a partial City Hall police remodel, and filter plant demolition, with a design phase leading to a GMP and substantial completion targeted for January 5, 2027 on the first two sub-projects. This locks in the prime design-builder but opens follow-on needs for furnishings, low-voltage systems, security, specialty equipment, and maintenance.Contract Award · City of Loves Park city · Boone County · Jul 6, 2026$1,250,000Loves Park approved a design-build agreement with Ringland-Johnson, Inc. for multiple municipal building projects, including Fire Station #2 addition, Water Department office remodel, City Hall interior improvements, and a filter plant demolition. The contract covers independently funded sub-projects, with Fire Station #2 and Water Department work budgeted at $1,000,000 and $250,000 respectively, targeting substantial completion by January 5, 2027. This establishes Ringland-Johnson as the incumbent for upcoming interior and demolition work, but leaves room for specialty subs, furnishings, and systems vendors.Contract Award · City of Loves Park city · Boone County · Jul 6, 2026$1,250,000749 more Illinois projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
