Summary of Specifications:
The Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan (CMHPSM) is requesting proposals from bidders for substance use disorder prevention programs/initiatives to be provided within our four-county region (Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe, and Washtenaw). Identifying and understanding substance abuse related issues in our region are vital to making recommendations for potential improvements. Thus, bidders must utilize data to guide local decisions and create a comprehensive plan for programming based on the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is an outcome-based, data driven, population-level approach to substance abuse prevention planning. SPF includes five steps; assessment, capacity, planning, implementation and evaluation. For more information, please refer to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (www.samhsa.gov). Substance abuse continues to be associated with various individual, familial, and community issues. The CMHPSM understands the importance of targeting needs and strategies to promote healthy communities and individual well-being. Critical to the chances for success in substance abuse prevention is the implementation of evidence based interventions targeted to multiple sectors within a community. ***Please note all proposals must be submitted electronically at www.cmhpsm.org/procurement, not in the hard copy format specified in this MITN notice*** Submission instructions are found within the RFP.
