Summary: These contracts provide specialized treatment services ordered by the court for adult sex offenders who are supervised by the Adult Probation and Social Service Departments of the Circuit Court of Cook County. Services provided under the contracts include in-depth assessments and individual and weekly group counseling as deemed appropriate, billed to Cook County at prescribed hourly rates. There are more than 300 probationers under court supervision for sex offenses.
These extensions will allow the Departments to continue providing services to probationers while the County completes an ongoing Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
These contracts were originally awarded through a RFP process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Each contract was awarded based on established evaluation criteria and are part of a service network of seven providers, encompassing all of Cook County, that assist offenders in their own communities.
