About this file

Amendment No. 1 to Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 3160007240 was issued by the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services. The amendment provides a detailed question and answer document for potential bidders, with responses covering various aspects of the EAP service requirements. The bid seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive EAP services for approximately 1,500 MDHS employees and their covered family members. Bidders are required to submit their bid package by Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an expectation of contract award on May 8, 2025. The initial contract term is one year, with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals.

The current EAP provider is Region 8 Mental Health, which has been providing services for approximately one year. The amendment reveals that the current program offers 12 counseling sessions per member per issue per year, with no employees residing in California. The pricing will be based on the 1,500 employee count, though not all employees are expected to utilize the program. Key service requirements include confidential counseling, mental health support, substance/alcohol abuse assistance, work-life balance resources, crisis intervention, and training and education counseling. The workforce is currently a mix of in-office, remote, and hybrid workers. The current vendor was rated 4 out of 5 in performance, and the most important components sought are confidential counseling, mental health support, and substance abuse assistance.
