The Ministry is seeking additional providers to deliver domestic violence programmes on referral from the Family Court and/or District Court (including the Domestic Violence Courts) in locations and with specific communities where the Ministry has determined that coverage in currently inadequate. This RFP covers the second stage of a process to contract providers.
The approval of all domestic violence programme providers that were contracted to the Ministry ceased on 1 October 2014 with the full implementation of the Domestic Violence Amendment Act 2013. Stage one of the procurement process involved offering new contracting arrangements to existing providers that were able to meet the new Approval Criteria. The situation has now been reached where generally those existing providers that have capacity/availability to extend their services have already been contracted to do so. There are situations where two or more existing providers are equally capable of undertaking the services and we will use this second-stage opportunity to select the most appropriate provider.
This second stage is targeted at potential providers that in the main do not have a current relationship with the Ministry in respect of the purchase of domestic violence programmes. Existing approved providers are not excluded from submitting proposals and where we can achieve an equitable solution by extending the agreement with a current contracted and approved provider our preference is to do so.
The selected providers will be contracted on a fee for service basis to meet any demand for specific types of programmes on referral from the Courts but is not possible to forecast that demand, nor the associated costs. The selected providers will not be guaranteed any level of services.
