5-MW26-8 MECSH Program License and Services Agreement Redacted.pdf

This is a Program License and Services Agreement between the Utah Division of Purchasing and an evidence-based nursing-provided home visiting model provider for the MECSH (Maternal, Early Childhood, and School Health) program. The agreement establishes the terms for implementing the HOM-VEE (Home Visiting Evidence-based Practice) model, which provides home visiting services focused on maternal and early childhood health outcomes. The contract is being awarded without engaging in a standard competitive procurement process, as justified by the conducting procurement unit based on circumstances making competitive procurement impractical and not in the state's best interest. The agreement defines the scope of services, licensing requirements, and operational parameters for delivering the evidence-based home visiting model to eligible populations within Utah.

The agreement establishes a licensing and services arrangement whereby the selected provider gains authorization to deliver the HOM-VEE model within the state. Key terms include operational requirements, performance standards, and compliance obligations necessary to maintain the evidence-based integrity of the home visiting program. Funding for the program derives from state appropriations allocated to the Division of Purchasing for maternal and early childhood health initiatives. The contract structure emphasizes the provider's responsibility to maintain program fidelity to the HOM-VEE model standards while serving Utah's designated service areas and populations, with specific attention to performance metrics and outcome measurement aligned with evidence-based practice requirements.
