had her assistant respond to me: named Elizabeth Basso:

 Good morning. You recently emailed our Procurement Director, Carol Wilson. I am responding to that email. Thank you for reaching out to us.

The State has moved to a Vendor Managed Services model for all IT related contingent workers. This commodity was competed in November, 2016 and a contract was awarded August, 2017. The contract is posted to our searchable State Contracting Portal at http://www.biznet.ct.gov/SCP_Search/Default.aspx?AccLast=1. The contract number is 14PSX0338, and there are three awarded vendors, Covendis, Knowledge Services and Computer Aid. New vendors are not periodically added to awarded contracts. Only those vendors who competed when the RFP or ITB was issued were considered for award.  However, there may be subcontracting opportunities available with one or more of the three awarded vendors. I would encourage you to contact them directly. 

Currently, non-IT contingent workforce needs are met by a number of contracts. Several have been competed by the State directly, others are cooperative contracts. Please view our State Contracting Portal and search under Services (Professional, Support, Consulting, etc.). Solicitations for expiring contracts are generally posted one year to six months prior to the anticipated expiration date. I encourage you to sign up for our daily emails to receive bid and RFP notices from not only our office, but many cities and towns throughout the state. 

Please visit our website on Doing Business with the State at http://das.ct.gov/cr1.aspx?page=256. 

Contact me with any questions. 

Thank you and have a great day.
