Type and Scope of services to be performed: Agreement with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company to continue to provide 2 medical plan options for qualified Denver employees in 2023, 2024 and 2025. UnitedHealthcare selected as part of an RFP conducted in 2022.
In 2022, the Office of Human Resources and the Employee Health Insurance committee along with our broker, Lockton, conducted a full RFP for our medical plans as required by executive order. The Health Insurance Committee members are appointed by the Mayor. For this RFP, the Health Insurance Committee selected a sub-committee to make a recommendation to the full-committee.
The sub-committee released an RFP on February 8. A bidders conference was held February 11. The bidders conference allows the vendors to ask questions directly of the City. Following the bidder’s conference, the vendors were allowed to submit written clarifying questions with responses due from the City by February 11. The RFPs were due on March 2 and 8 vendors responded. The subcommittee then reviewed and scored the responses and interviewed the top two proposals. They picked UHC as the finalist and submitted their proposal along with justification to the full committee on May 26, 2022. The full committee agreed to their proposal and voted to retain UHC.
