Telemedicine Psychiatric Services

The Kansas Department of Administration's Office of Procurement and Contracts is seeking competitive proposals for telemedicine psychiatric services at Larned State Hospital (LSH) through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with bid event number EVT0010477. The procurement targets qualified vendors to provide telepsychiatry services across three distinct hospital programs: the Psychiatric Services Program (90 beds), the State Security Program (140 beds), and the Sexual Predator Treatment Program (215 beds). The contract will run from the date of award through November 30, 2030, with an average of 30 telepsychiatry service hours per week, not exceeding 1,560 annual hours. Successful bidders must be board-certified psychiatrists associated with an accredited medical school, licensed in Kansas, and in good standing. Required deliverables include patient examinations, treatment planning, documentation, medication management, and participation in clinical meetings. The proposal is due on October 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with bidders required to submit an all-inclusive hourly rate for each clinician and optional incremental increases not exceeding 5% for years two through five.

The RFP includes several preference and set-aside provisions, particularly for disabled veteran-owned businesses, and requires bidders to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue. Vendors must provide professional liability insurance and comply with LSH policies and specific technical and credentialing requirements for remote service delivery. Payment terms are set at net 30 days, and contractors must adhere to state regulations discouraging human trafficking and complying with immigration laws. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the hourly rate structure and annual service hour cap suggest a potential contract value that would depend on the proposed hourly rate. Bidders must complete various forms, including Immigration Reform and Control documentation, and demonstrate technical capabilities for delivering telemedicine services. The shipping destination is Larned State Hospital, located at 1301 KS HWY 264 in Larned, Kansas, with a delivery due date of October 13, 2025.
