BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES

Broward College, a Florida college system institution, is issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to solicit proposals for Behavioral Health Services. The College is seeking a licensed, qualified, and experienced provider capable of delivering comprehensive behavioral health services, including telephone triage and appointment scheduling, in-person and virtual counseling, medication management, and assessments of student fitness to participate in educational activities. The successful respondent(s) will enter into a contract for an initial term of three (3) years, with three (3) optional one-year renewal periods. Proposals are due by 2:30 p.m. ET on April 4, 2024, and will be evaluated based on experience and qualifications, scope of services and methodology, pricing, and financial capacity. Pricing must remain firm for the initial contract term, with potential adjustments allowed during renewal periods based on changes in the Producer Price Index.

The College currently has an agreement with Henderson Behavioral Health, Inc. to provide mental health counseling to students, and this procurement aims to continue and potentially expand these services. The ITN does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contract value is not disclosed, but the College is seeking to continue and potentially expand its behavioral health services within Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale.
