As a part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) may contract with a business services vendor to serve as a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) for DHCS’ grant strategy to scale-up evidence-based and community-defined evidence practices (EBPs/CDEPs). DHCS invites vendors to review and respond to this non-binding RFI, which will provide information to DHCS to inform its grant management strategy. DHCS is seeking information from vendors who may be able to assist DHCS in implementing its CYBHI EBP/CDEP grant strategy and provide feedback on the services described in the preliminary draft Scope of Work (RFI Attachment I). DHCS may use the RFI responses to refine the Scope of Work.
