Supervised Visitation Services

This state and local contracting opportunity is for Supervised Visitation Services issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Child Protective Services (CPS). The Open Enrollment seeks to enter into contracts with qualified applicants to provide a range of supervised visitation services, including preparation for visits, monitoring visits, documenting visits, and providing court-related services. Eligible applicants must meet minimum qualifications, such as demonstrating relevant service and financial management experience, and comply with various requirements outlined in the application and forms. The Open Enrollment is being released on a statewide basis, but contracts will be awarded on a regional basis across Regions 1-11 in Texas. The enrollment period is open from December 7, 2022 to March 31, 2028, with an anticipated contract start date of no earlier than April 1, 2023. Compensation for the services will be based on a fee-for-service payment methodology, with unit rates set by DFPS. However, DFPS does not guarantee any minimum level of utilization or referrals, and payment will fluctuate based on actual service utilization.

The Open Enrollment does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors. Similarly, details on award values or budget ranges are not included in the provided documentation. DFPS reserves the right to cancel the enrollment, make partial awards, or make no awards at all.
