Requires the applicable agency to detail in writing the specific reasons why each of the 4 bids was not awarded and submit a certified copy to the bidder within the same calendar quarter in which the fourth bid was rejected.

Clarifies that the written explanation for non-competitive awards must be filed with the Legislative Audit Commission, Commission on Equity and Inclusion, and Procurement Policy Board within 14 calendar days after the award decision (corrects previous language that said "14 days").

Preserves provisions allowing reverse auction procedures and alternative bidding processes for the Illinois Power Agency when determined to be in the State's best interest.
