Request for Proposals for Locum Tenens, Permanent Placement and Telehealth Services

Integral Care, a community-based behavioral health and intellectual/developmental disabilities services provider in Travis County, Texas, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Locum Tenens, Permanent Placement, and Telehealth Services. The RFP seeks proposals for the placement of locum tenens psychiatric prescribers, Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) to provide on-site and remote/telehealth clinical services at various Integral Care locations in the Austin area. The RFP also requests proposals for 24/7 on-call telemedicine psychiatric services and access to high-quality LMHCs and psychiatric prescribers for telehealth services. Integral Care anticipates awarding one or more non-exclusive three-year contracts, with options to renew for up to two successive one-year periods, beginning on approximately December 1, 2024. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM CST on October 15, 2024, and will be evaluated based on factors such as general information, financial stability, risk profile, proposed services, equity and inclusion practices, and cost.

The RFP encourages Historically Underutilized Businesses, including Minority-Owned Businesses and Women-Owned Businesses, to apply. While the RFP does not disclose any incumbent vendors or the estimated budget for the contract, it states that Integral Care is committed to racial equity and inclusion. The RFP does not indicate a preference for local vendors, but allows for the substitution of references from outside of Travis County if necessary. Integral Care reserves the right to reject any proposed exceptions or revisions to the RFP terms and conditions.
