Summary
The county accepted a contract with Primary Care Services (Cumberland Family Care) to continue medical coverage through Jan. 30, 2026; the contract was not bid this year because it was issued on a five-year term and the sheriff's office had been contacted during the procurement process.
The Van Buren County Commission approved continuation of a contract with Primary Care Services for Cumberland Family Care to provide medical services through Jan. 30, 2026.
County staff told the commission the contract had not been rebid this year because the arrangement was placed on a five-year term and therefore was not included in annual bids; staff noted the sheriff's department had been contacted during the procurement. Commissioners moved and seconded acceptance of the contract and recorded an affirmative roll call.
Formal action: the commission voted to accept the contract continuation; the motion carried on a roll call with recorded aye votes and no recorded opposition.
Ending: Commissioners said the county will rebid the service when the contract term ends or prior to that date as procurement rules and timelines require.
