Description
The State of Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services is seeking qualified providers to deliver supervised visitation services for children placed in out‑of‑home care. Providers will be responsible for scheduling and conducting safe, trauma‑informed visits, completing required documentation in the state’s Child Welfare Information System, and (if applicable) providing transportation. The contract runs for two years (January 1 2027 – December 31 2028) with reimbursement on an all‑inclusive per‑hour basis ($70–$80 depending on district). Vendors must meet staffing, training, insurance, and IT security requirements and submit quarterly performance, staff, and narrative reports, as well as monthly invoices.
**Key points:**
• Deliver supervised visitation (minimum first visit within 7 days of referral, three time options within 3 business days).
• Maintain safety, incident reporting (within 24 hrs), and CWIS narrative entry (within 5 business days).
• Provide quarterly performance measures, staff rosters, parent‑satisfaction surveys, and monthly invoicing per unit (15‑minute increments).
• Optional transportation for small agencies is not required; larger agencies must meet vehicle and driver standards.
• Reimbursement rates: $80/hr for District 1 & 2; $70/hr for District 3‑8; no overall budget ceiling.
