About this file
This document is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified vendors to provide EAP services to employees of OEBB entities that participate in OEBB's EAP program. The contract term is from June 5, 2024 through September 30, 2027, with the possibility of extension. The RFP requires proposers to respond to detailed questions across several areas, including access and network quality, clinical processes, member experience, equity and inclusion, account management, implementation, and vendor key facts.
The RFP includes specific pricing and financial proposal requirements in a separate attachment. It also includes a sample contract with legal terms and conditions that the selected vendor must accept. The RFP does not mention any set-asides, incumbents, or funding sources, but indicates that OEBB will make a single monthly payment to the selected vendor based on the aggregate count of covered employees from participating entities.
