RFP for Services that Improve Individuals’ Access to and Engagement with Mental Health Services (Administrative Management Services)

Allegheny County, through its Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking Proposals from qualified Proposers to improve access to mental health treatment and support for individuals who need assistance to appropriately engage with these services. The Successful Proposer(s) will conduct referral, linkage and coordination activities (e.g., pre-treatment engagement, benefits counseling and administrative tasks) that best address individuals’ needs. Together, these services are known as “Administrative Management Services.”

These services, known as “Administrative Management Services,” have never been competitively procured in Allegheny County and were initially established as part of Base Service Units that once served as the point of entry for county-funded behavioral health services, but which no longer operate. Through this solicitation, DHS intends to evaluate its investments in these services to ensure they align with current community needs, are not duplicative of services offered through HealthChoices, and reach vulnerable individuals with appropriate and effective supports.

Please join us for a virtual informational session on Thursday, January 15, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern Time. Attending the virtual session is not required to submit a Proposal.

Proposals must be submitted electronically on DHS’s Bonfire Portal. Please see the RFP for more details.
