Disability Support Services (DSS) has opened a Request for Application (RFA) for providers to apply to join an agreement to provide residential services.
About this opportunity
This RFA is for suitably qualified providers to join an open Panel of Providers (Panel) to deliver DSS funded Community Residential Support Services for people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and Physical Disabilities (PD).
The purpose of this procurement is to engage a range of suitably qualified residential services Providers via a Residential Services Panel (the Panel).
The Panel will consist of suitably qualified Providers on the basis that all panel members have been approved by DSS through the procurement process as capable of delivering Community Residential Support Services and have agreed to the Contract.
This is an opportunity to join a long-term agreement to deliver Community Residential Support Services that will contribute to:
- improving the experience of disabled people receiving residential support: driving service quality improvement by strengthening quality and safeguarding mechanisms.
- improving access to and appropriateness of services: ensuring disabled people can obtain the right services at the right time, irrespective of income, geography and cultural background.
- stabilising the price of residential support: creating a residential support service that is fair, consistent, transparent, and sustainable.
All current DSS providers of community residential support must apply to join the panel so they can continue to provide community residential support services. DSS encourages both current and potential providers to submit applications for consideration.
