Addendum #1 - Mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting Information.doc

Addendum #1 for Winston-Salem State University's Bid No. 74-WS2025-002 provides details for a Mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting related to Comprehensive Healthcare Services. The addendum announces a virtual Zoom conference scheduled for May 15, 2025, at 2:00pm Eastern Daylight Time, with specific meeting link, ID, and passcode provided. The pre-proposal meeting is a critical component of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a comprehensive healthcare service provider to deliver student health services at the university.

The RFP seeks a vendor to provide an extensive range of healthcare services including primary care, mental health support, crisis intervention, psychiatric services, wellness programs, CLIA-waived lab services, preventive care, and pharmacy services for the university's student population. The initial contract term is set for two years, beginning August 1, 2025, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year terms. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the contract emphasizes a holistic approach to student health, with evaluation criteria focusing on the provider's experience, service offerings, staffing qualifications, and ability to meet the university's health and wellness needs. The proposal will undergo a two-step pricing process that considers factors beyond cost, such as service quality and program effectiveness.
