Description

Ventura County Behavioral Health is seeking qualified community-based providers to deliver Behavioral Health Services Act Early Intervention services for one or more components: outreach, access and linkage to care, and brief treatment. Services must identify emerging mental health and substance use concerns, reduce barriers to care, provide culturally and linguistically responsive support, and connect individuals and families with appropriate behavioral health and related services. Proposed programs may focus on specific age groups, priority populations, geographic areas, or community needs within Ventura County and may use evidence-based or community-defined evidence practices. The solicitation requires a detailed organizational, staffing, program, cultural competency, quality assurance, budget, and sustainability response. Required materials include narrative proposal sections, two fiscal-year budget templates, a cover letter, executive summary, financial statement or annual report, references, business continuity plan, bidder understanding, requirements response, contract-terms response, payment terms, a W-9, current insurance documentation, a signed non-collusion affidavit, and key staff information. The anticipated contract may include an optional three-month startup period beginning July 1, 2027, followed by fully operational periods through June 30, 2029; operations are scheduled to begin February 1, 2027 in the solicitation timeline, which conflicts with the stated budget-period dates and should be clarified.
