Overview

The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is seeking a culturally skilled and responsive service provider who can deliver face-to-face support for Māori, Pacific, and Ethnic older people who are experiencing or at risk of elder abuse. This procurement focuses on increasing support for kaumātua/older people living in the Hastings District Council (Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga) territorial authority, an area evidenced to have high risk indicators for family violence and elder abuse.

The anticipated contract term is approximately two years, commencing no later than mid-August 2024 and ending on 30 June 2026.

MSD currently contracts 37 providers to deliver Elder Abuse Response Services (EARS) across Aotearoa, New Zealand. EARS respond to the immediate needs of older people who are experiencing or at risk of abuse and neglect. EARS providers work alongside families/whānau, organisations and others in the community to build awareness, strengthen relationships and improve outcomes for older people.

Providers will need to:
• demonstrate their relationships and connections, and how they plan to strengthen these, with tangata whenua, local iwi/hapu, Pacific Island communities, or Ethnic communities.
• have connections with other service providers in their community and demonstrate how they will work with them to ensure the client’s individual needs are met.

EARS Guidelines highlight the following outcomes:
• Older people experiencing or at risk of experiencing (or perceived to be experiencing) abuse and neglect are protected and safe.
• Older people’s views are respected and valued as they are the experts about their lives.
• Older people are empowered to be self-determining, independent, and confident in their daily lives.
• Older people, their families, and whānau are connected to services and their community.
RFP timeframe:
• RFP Release: Wednesday 15 May 2024
