RFP for a Mobile Competency Restoration and Support Team

Allegheny County, on behalf of its Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking Proposals from qualified Proposers to implement and manage a Mobile Competency Restoration and Support Team (henceforth referred to as the MCRST, or MCRST) in Allegheny County to provide necessary behavioral health services for persons assessed as being incompetent to stand trial.

DHS released this RFP in the Fall of 2022; because we did not receive any Proposals, we are releasing this opportunity again. Through the rerelease of this RFP, we hope to attract a larger audience, both nationally and locally, of qualified Proposers interested in and capable of providing this service.

DHS has put significant time and thought into the way we envision this service, however, if there are aspects of the program design or budget that Proposers view as prohibitive, we encourage Proposers to identify those aspects, explain how they are prohibitive and suggest feasible modifications. DHS will collaborate with the Successful Proposer to establish an agreed upon timeline for implementation, the final contract terms and requirements for the service, and to provide any supports we can for successful implementation.
