Description

Minnesota Management and Budget (“the State” or “MMB”) is soliciting proposals from qualified provider(s) (hereafter referred to as “Responders”) to provide services for the State’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This Employee Assistance Program was established by executive order in 1976 and by legislation in 1980 (M.S. 43A.319). Since its inception, the program’s mission has been to provide confidential, accessible services that support employees, their dependents, managers and work units in restoring and strengthening the health and productivity of the state’s workforce.

The State will use an Intent to Negotiate procurement process, enabling a competitive negotiation to better identify and refine potential solutions. Responder(s) and the State will negotiate a complete Scope of Work based on Responder submissions.
The State anticipates any resulting contract will be for an initial term of two (2) years beginning January 1, 2026, with the option to extend up to an additional three (3) years in increments determined by the State.

Cost proposal instructions: responders must enter a price of $.01 in the Price per Unit field for Line 1 in order to submit a response to the RFP.
Responders must also upload their Cost Proposal as instructed in Section 4 of the RFP.
THIS IS A FORMAL EVENT/SOLICITATION. Responders must submit their bids on the Supplier Portal. No Non-electronic or email responses will be accepted. The response must be submitted no later than the date and time called for in the Finish Time in the Event Details.

Your bid is not submitted until you select the ‘Submit Bid’ button. You will receive a confirmation message when your bid has been submitted. Print and save your confirmation.
