Flexible Support Services Master Agreement Request for Responses (RFR)

The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) is seeking to establish a pool of qualified Provider organizations to deliver home and community-based Clinical Services, Parent/Caregiver Peer Support, Young Adult Peer Mentoring, and Therapeutic Support. These services will be provided within the context of a Flexible Support Team, Flexible Support Group or Individual Practitioners. Qualified Providers must meet specified service, staffing, and operational requirements. The RFR does not list quantities, response due dates, or award dates, but indicates the contract term is for an initial period with options to renew. The pricing structure involves qualified hourly rates for the different service modalities and staff roles. Respondents must meet Massachusetts Business Vendor and other contracting requirements to be considered for award.

The RFR notes that current incumbent providers are listed, and funding will come from state mental health appropriations, though specific amounts are not provided. The procurement may use federal funds to partially or fully fund the resulting contracts. The RFR indicates that set-asides or preferences may be given to certified small, minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses. No other details are provided on the budget, anticipated spending amounts, or commercial terms.
