The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) issued a solicitation for a comprehensive statewide Employee Assistance Program (EAP) serving approximately 3,500 full-time employees in Richland County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide confidential counseling and referral services, including three pre-paid assessment and therapeutic counseling sessions annually per employee and their dependents. Required services encompass mental health support, crisis intervention, substance abuse counseling, wellness programs, financial counseling, legal assistance, and workplace interventions. The contractor must establish 24-hour telephone access, provide toll-free services, ensure emergency response within two hours, offer in-person counseling within 24 hours of request, and develop interactive web-based tools available 24/7. The original solicitation (5400025261) scheduled proposal responses for May 30, 2023, at 2:30 PM EST, with questions due by May 16, 2023, and an anticipated award notification on June 5, 2023. However, the procurement was ultimately canceled on June 19, 2023, with plans to re-solicit at a later date. The solicitation included South Carolina resident contractor and subcontractor preference provisions, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly noted. The contract term was initially structured for one year with four potential one-year renewal options, creating a maximum potential contract duration of five years. Pricing was to be calculated as a unit price per employee multiplied by 3,500 employees, with DHEC retaining the right to adjust coverage for future hires. The contractor was required to provide liability and malpractice insurance with a $1,000,000 minimum per incident and bill annually based on actual service utilization. No incumbent vendor was identified, as DHEC indicated this was a new program without prior EAP services. The procurement specified that the contractor must execute DHEC's Business Associate Agreement if accessing protected health information and maintain comprehensive records for six years post-contract. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the solicitation suggested a comprehensive, full-service EAP addressing various employee wellness and support needs.
