UnitedHealth, Amazon, CVS Health and Option Care Health are bidding for Signify Health, according to people with knowledge of the proposals.

The highest offer came from UnitedHealth, which submitted a bid in excess of $30 a share. But Amazon's offer is not far behind, Bloomberg reported. 

Signify will hold a board meeting on Monday to discuss the offers. Final proposals are expected on Sept. 6, although a deal could come earlier if any of the parties preempt the sales process.
