The Utah Procurement Code provides that a procurement may be made without competition when the University determines that there is only one source that can reasonably meet the University’s need for the required supply or service, as described in Utah Code Ann. § 63G-6a-802.
The Purchasing Department has received the following request for sole source procurement:
Product and/or Service to be purchased: Student Well-Being ProgramSole Source Supplier: Wellbeing Elevated Inc
Earliest Proposed Purchase Date: 6/7/2023
Buyer Name: Ammi Aldous
Sole Source Justification: Well-being Elevated (WBE) is a new multimodal well-being program that combines mobile and web platforms with peer support groups. It was developed at the University of Utah and is the only comprehensive program found that not only draws on multiple approaches of well-being (i.e. positive psychology, mindfulness, meditation, etc.), but also provides real-time support groups along with the online platform of information. These support groups are also unique in that monetary compensation for participants contributes to overall effectiveness and participant adherence. WBE is the only vendor known to be providing the support groups along with the online tools. This requires facilitators and supervisory clinicians licensed in Utah.
This sole source will have a duration of two years from February 1, 2023 and will cost over $50,000.
