Overview

The Ministry of Justice (Ministry) is inviting proposals from suitable organisations to deliver its Parenting through Separation (PTS) group programme in regions throughout New Zealand.

This programme helps parents who are separating understand and manage the effects that separation has on their children.

It provides participants with tools to communicate with their children and the other parent and to make co-parenting arrangements that are in the best interests of their children. PTS can also help grandparents and other wider family/whānau members involved in a parenting dispute. The programme is offered free of charge to all adults involved in family separations.

We need respondents who can deliver this prescribed programme throughout one or more of 16 regions in New Zealand. Proposals should indicate the region you want to be responsible for and how you might respond to all referrals, even those in isolated areas of the region.

We welcome responses from:

• Single entities; or

• Multi-agency collaborations (the collaboration will need to indicate a lead who will act on behalf of the group); or

• Organisations that will provide the service by subcontracting out some, or all, of the service delivery.

In some circumstances, small organisations with links to particular communities will not be excluded from applying, even if they cannot deliver to a whole region. This may occur in specific locations where the Ministry needs to ensure adequate coverage or where the applicant demonstrates they are meeting a particular need within that location.

The Ministry intends to enter into contracts with suppliers for an initial term of three years commencing on 1 July 2015 with an option to extend the contract for a further term of two years. The maximum term of the contract will be five years.
