Religious Services Master Agreement RFR

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Mental Health is establishing a Master Agreement to procure on‑as‑needed religious services from ordained clergy and spiritual counselors. Qualified providers will be placed on a state‑wide roster and may be called upon to deliver worship ceremonies, memorial services, funerals, burials, and individual or group spiritual counseling for clients, families, and staff across all Massachusetts counties. The agreement is a fee‑for‑service contract with an anticipated annual spend of roughly $100 K and a five‑year term (renewable for an additional five years). Providers must be ordained, have experience in mental‑health settings, and meet SBPP eligibility if seeking preference. • Services include worship, rites, counseling, emergency spiritual support, and other faith‑based activities on an as‑needed basis. • Providers must submit an online application (including resume, denomination endorsement, business references, rates, and certifications) by the deadline and will be evaluated for inclusion on the Master Agreement roster. • The contract is non‑guaranteed; inclusion on the roster does not assure work, but multiple Statements of Work may be issued over the contract term.
