In 2008, the Commission released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Student Loan Billing Services for a 5-year contract. At that time, only one vendor responded: Educational Computer Systems Inc. (ECSI) . The contract was awarded to ECSI. When the contract expired, the dollar amount of the usage was such that the Commission was not required to request bids so the Commission entered into a new contract with ECSI.  \nIn the 2019 WV Legislative session, Senate Bill 1 passed creating a new “WV Invests Grant Program”. This program is much further reaching than previous/current grant programs. The Commission believes that our usage of a Student Loan Billing Service will significantly increase. To that end, the Commission needs to award a new contract for Student Billing Loan Services. Because of our past history of vendor bid responses and due to the very restricted timeframes, the Commission intends to contract with ECSI unless another service provider objects.  \nA list of bid requirements has been created. Any vendor who would desire to bid for these services would need to meet the criteria as described. The bid requirements follow.  \nIf after reviewing the required criteria, a vendor wishes to be given the opportunity to bid for these services, they must notify the Commission by April 3, 2019 by 3:00pm. The contact person for the Commission is:  \nMary Blashford  \nDirector of Procurement  \n1018 Kanawha Blvd., E, Suite 700 Charleston, WV 25301  \nPhone: 304-558-0281 Ext. 241/Fax: 304-558-0259  \nE-mail: [mary.blashford@wvhepc.edu](mary.blashford@wvhepc.edu)  \nWV HIGHER EDUCATION POLICY COMMISSION  \nBID REQUIREMENTS  \nSTUDENT LOAN BILLING SERVICES  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nThe West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide Student Loan Billing Services for the Division of Financial Aid. Commission is a state government agency located in Charleston, WV. The Commission maintains oversight of higher education institutions in West Virginia and is responsible for administering over $100 million in financial aid each year and currently maintains 582 active loans with over 900 in an in school or grace period. The Commission’s Student Loan Portfolio totals over $6 million. The legislature created the WV Invests Grant, which is a program that will award $10 million annually and require recipients to reside in West Virginia for two years after program completion or repay the funds.  \nThe Commission is interested in partnering with the best-qualified Student Loan Billing Servicer to provide state-of-the-art services and solutions for Commission staff and our borrowers. To that end, the Commission requires that the chosen Student Loan Billing Servicer be able to meet the requirements indicated herein, provide for expansion and service enhancement needs, and represent the best balance of benefits to costs to the Commission.  \nCommission’s requirements include, but are not limited to, banking, billing, accounting, reporting, related services, and an interactive PC-based system, that will facilitate the consolidation of the Commission’s need in the collection of loans from the Underwood-Smith Teacher Scholarship, West Virginia Engineering, Science and Technology Scholarship, the WV Center for Nursing Scholarship, the Health Sciences Service Program, and the WV Invests Grant. These programs have a service requirement. If the student does not fulfill the service requirement, the student must repay the scholarship.  \nII.
