Paragraph 1:

Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS) is seeking proposals from qualified community-based behavioral health providers to deliver School-Based Mental Health Services. The district is the fourth largest in North Carolina, serving approximately 54,000 students. Eligible providers must have staff with the appropriate degrees and licenses to provide mental and behavioral health services, demonstrated experience in outpatient therapeutic services, the ability to provide case consultation and on-call/24-hour access for students and families, and maintain strict confidentiality. Key objectives include improved behavioral management, enhanced social skills, increased emotional regulation, better academic engagement, strengthened family involvement, successful student reintegration, and enhanced coping skills. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM EST on March 28, 2024, and will be evaluated based on criteria such as the provider's qualifications, services, capacity, and policies.

Paragraph 2:

The contract opportunity does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are also no details provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not include specific award values or budget ranges, as the district will not be financially responsible for the services rendered by the selected providers. Instead, the providers must be able to bill Medicaid and provide pro bono services to 1 student for every 10 students billed.
