Support for District Contracted Services
After the passage of SB 2404 in 2002, the SAMH program offices were given line authority over district operations and the SAMH program directors were given direct control over contracts and budget. As a result, positions were transferred from Administrative Services (Contracted Client Services) to the program offices to support contracting functions in the districts. The team is responsible for establishing contracting policies, procedures and rules specific to SAMH service delivery and providing training and technical support to district contract managers, contract monitors and district administrative staff. Specifically, these functions include:

  • Developing financial rules for SAMH programs;
  • Developing standard model contracts for SAMH service delivery;
  • Developing statewide procurement instruments;
  • Developing monitoring tools and protocols for contract oversight units and district contract managers;
  • Developing contracting policies specific to SAMH programs;
  • Monitoring district program offices' contract management functions;
  • Participating in district management reviews;
  • Providing training for district contract managers, contract oversight units, and other interested parties related to areas of responsibility;
  • Providing technical assistance to district contract managers, and other district administrative staff.
