All Vendor Conference 2025-11-11 Meeting Recording

The La Crosse County All Vendor Conference held on November 18, 2025, focused primarily on updates related to contract management, billing deadlines, and service delivery for the 2026 contract year within the county's Human Services programs, particularly the Children's Long-Term Support (CLTS) and Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) programs. Key procurement-related discussions included the distribution of 2026 CCS contracts starting that week, a January 9, 2026 deadline for submitting 2025 invoices to meet state fiscal requirements, and ongoing adjustments to service categories and market rates as directed by the Department of Health Services (DHS). The meeting also addressed compliance requirements such as clinical supervision hours, continuing education submissions by December 31, 2025, and the introduction of a vendor report card system to evaluate service quality annually starting in 2026. Additionally, the county emphasized the need for vendors to maintain clear documentation and grievance resolution processes, with updated contract appendices to be provided. No new contract awards or vendor selections were announced, but the meeting set expectations for contract administration and compliance moving forward.
