Description
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is establishing a pre‑qualified provider list for medical services not available at its own hospitals. Vendors—including hospitals, clinics, and specialty providers—will be eligible to deliver a broad spectrum of services (e.g., emergency‑room care, surgery, radiology, dialysis, rehabilitation, psychiatric care) on an as‑needed basis for DPH patients. The contract will be awarded on a rolling‑enrollment basis, with bids accepted through 30 June 2034, and will have an initial five‑year term with one optional five‑year renewal. Key requirements include acceptance of the Medicaid fee schedule (or provision of a discount), Joint Commission accreditation, minimum malpractice insurance, and a mandatory 1 % Supplier Diversity Program commitment. Bidders must submit a cover sheet, business reference forms, a supplier‑diversity plan, and other pre‑contract documents, and must be registered in COMMBUYS.
