Summary: Cook County's Department of Revenue seeks to build a custom software system that completes the lifecycle and all requirements of transactions that are subject to the tax. This starts with the invoicing compliance process and allows managing these customer accounts in-house. This will allow the Department of Revenue to bill in a timely manner and provide the ability for the department to adjust the accounts as necessary. This system will enable the Department of Revenue to give the taxpayer quality service; in addition to providing efficient and effective compliance efforts to maximize revenues.
In order to procure this system, the County references the City of Chicago's competitively procured master consulting agreement with Clarity Partners, LLC.
