About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health is seeking input from current and prospective Respite and Peer Respite service providers via a community listening session scheduled for Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., in advance of issuing a Request for Response for Master Agreement Respite Services in November 2026.
This is a pre-procurement engagement opportunity. DMH intends to solicit Respite and Peer Respite services through a formal RFR in November 2026; the August 20 listening session serves to gather stakeholder feedback on service delivery needs and provider capabilities before the RFR specifications are finalized. The session will be conducted online via the COMMBUYS platform and is open to current providers and other interested parties.
No contract value, term length, renewal options, set-asides, performance locations, evaluation criteria, or other procurement terms have been specified at this stage. The formal RFR will be posted in November 2026.
Vendors planning to pursue this opportunity should note the listening session as an early engagement point to inform proposal strategy and understand DMH's strategic objectives for respite care services in Massachusetts.
