The Department of Corrections (the Buyer) is inviting the submission of Tenders from suitably qualified and experienced dentists to provide contracted services of dentistry either at the prison health centre dental suite or at their own practice where a prison does not have a dental suite. The RFT covers the supply of Dental Services to all 16 public prisons (excludes privately operated prison’s).
Each prison has a health centre that provides primary health care to prisoners to a level reasonably equivalent to that available in the community. In addition Corrections are required to provide dental services according to 81 (2) of the Corrections Regulations 2005:
Any examination or treatment must be primarily concerned with the relief of pain, the maintenance of a reasonable standard of dental care relative to the dental and oral health of the prisoner concerned before the prisoner was admitted to the prison, or both.
Dentists provide examination and treatment as required according to oral health conditions presented by prisoners. In some instances where prisons do not have a dental facility on site, the Department is looking for submissions from providers who can provide treatment for escorted prisoners to dental surgeries off site.
Further information is contained within the attached RFT document.
Please ensure that questions are emailed directly to the Contact Person stated in the RFT document.
