Notice Details

The New York State Office of Mental Health ("OMH") continues to recognize re-solicitation of contracts for ongoing operations may result in awards to different providers which have not previously served the specific population. In such cases, associations between recipients and providers which are of limited durations may prove to be detrimental to recipient's recovery. Frequent changes in service providers can also seriously compromise continuity of care, which is also detrimental to those served. Given the fact that DOHMH has decided that there continues to be a need for these services, OMH requires DOHMH to continue contracting with the same vendors as long as the vendors demonstrate fiscal integrity, positive program performance and administrative compliance. This applies to all funding awarded on the State Aid Letter, including both State and Federal funding.
