Mental Health Services and Application/Technology

This request for proposal (RFP) is issued by the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC) to identify and contract with one or more organizations or independent contractors that can provide mental health services and a mobile application accessible on multiple platforms. The application should offer a range of features tailored to the unique needs of early childhood educators, including services such as texting, counseling/therapy, mental health resources, and relaxation techniques. The selected vendor(s) will provide a yearlong subscription to the mobile app for all eligible users with flexible pricing options to meet grant guidelines. Proposals are due by 5:00 pm EST on December 2, 2023, and the ELCHC expects to make an award decision and execute a contract by December 2023. The ELCHC will pay the full cost of services and subscription fees for the mental health application and will provide a fixed fee per user to the successful vendor(s).

The project will be funded 100% from federal funds, and the ELCHC is seeking to utilize woman, minority, and/or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The ELCHC will be responsible for distributing the application and subscriptions to eligible users. The ELCHC has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award values.
