048-2 Wyo. Code R. §§ 2-4 - Contract Requirements for Prevention, Early Intervention, Recovery Support Services and Substance Abuse Treatment Services

(a) Any program or service seeking funds under these rules shall apply to the Division in a process developed by the Division as posted on the Webpage and/or sent through the mail.

(b) Eligibility for Contracts. Any public or private program or service may apply to the Division for available funds to contract to provide prevention, early intervention, recovery support services and treatment services and who comply with the rules of the contract.

(c) Preference. Those entities with which the Division contracted for substance abuse services in the year prior to the promulgation of these rules shall have a preference for initial contracts entered under these rules. The preference granted herein is intended only to extend to those specific services covered under the contract between the Division and the contractor prior to these rules. Notwithstanding any preference, all contractors are subject to suspension or revocation of certification for failure to comply with these rules. Preference may, in part, be based on the program meeting the scope of work deliverables of the previous contract.

(d) Continuum of Services. It is the objective of the Division to provide access to a continuum of prevention, early intervention, recovery support services and treatment services. Accordingly, the Division may contract with one or more applicants in a county or other geographic area in order to meet that objective.

(e) Application and submitting Letter of Intent for renewal of public funds and for the application of new public funds. The Division may, when appropriate, send a Request for Proposal (RFP) prior to contract expiration dates or when new funding is available for services. Programs or services interested in continuing to provide current services or applying for new services will submit a Letter of Intent and Application in accordance with the instructions in the RFP issued by the Division.

(f) Issuance of Contract. Once the Division has determined that a contract should be issued to a program or service, it may do so and contact the program in regard to the formal contract process. The contract shall comply with the provisions of Section 1 and 2 of Chapter VII, "The Contract of Funded Services of the Rules and Regulations of the Division of Behavioral Health," dated February 1984, and amended in October 1984 and February 1992.
