Overview

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has a requirement and responsibility to ensure the health and wellbeing of its personnel, including mental health. NZDF wishes to provide a Mental Health Helpline Service and an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for all its military, civilian personnel and their families.

NZDF is seeking to develop and purchase an enhanced integrated External Mental Health Helpline and EAP Services to provide both unplanned care and counselling services through a multi-channel approach, including, but, not limited to: telephone triage and phone advice, face to face counselling; text; email; phone applications; social media and web-based services. The Service and offerings needs to take into account NZDF deployment overseas, exercises and international footprint for personnel.

This will allow a person to receive prompt triage, health advice, support, package of counselling care; information and sign-posting to appropriate services and care. These services are of a significant value to our most vulnerable personnel, and services must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to NZDF's needs.

NZDF wishes to contract with a provider to supply safe, effective and efficient Mental Health and Counselling Services to all its personnel and their families, by fully trained and qualified staff.
