About this file
This document contains Questions and Answers related to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Brandywine School District in Delaware for Combined Mental Health Services. The RFP seeks to award multiple vendors to provide these services. The anticipated award date is 9/20/2022, and vendors will be notified of the award per the procedures outlined in the RFP.
The RFP specifies that the district will provide the necessary materials, supplies, equipment, and technology for the mental health services. Rates must be provided on an hourly basis, and the district prefers not to have separate evaluation rates. Services are expected to be provided on-site only for the 2022-2023 school year. Pricing quoted in proposals must remain fixed through at least 6/30/2023, and contractors may be able to stay clocked in while traveling between district locations, but the district does not reimburse for mileage.
