BB26-11 Re-Post Short Term Mental Health

Project Description: Issuing Procurement Unit: State of Utah Division of Purchasing
Conducting Procurement Unit: Department of Workforce Services
The purpose of this RFP is to enter into a contract to provide: Short Term Mental Health Services. The Department ensures the provision of clinical services internally and, when appropriate, through the utilization of community treatment providers. Community treatment providers include: (1) local mental health, substance and domestic violence treatment agencies designated as Medicaid providers throughout the State of Utah, and (2) local mental health, substance and domestic violence treatment agencies, which have established contracts with the Department to provide identified services. Contracted clinical services specifically address mental health issues that impair customers’ ability to be full participants in the FEP / TANF eligible program. The primary goal is to reduce these identified mental health issues so that FEP / TANF eligible customers can successfully obtain employment or some other means of self-sufficiency. Contracted clinical services are not intended to supplant the established Medicaid provider but rather to enhance the service delivery capacity available to FEP / TANF eligible customers. FEP / TANF eligible customers are eligible to receive supportive services through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provisions.
