Overview

This RFP is seeking proposals for the provision of dental services on the east coast of Tairāwhiti for its adolescent population aged between 13-years to 18-years (Years 9 – 13 within schools), and those under 18-years who are out of school. Hauora Tairāwhiti has identified that good oral health and dental services for all young people is a priority health outcome and is a strategic objective for our Health and Wellbeing of Younger People work programme over the next five years.

The population is diverse and remote, therefore a provider for this service will need to offer their service as a mobile dental service which can regularly provide scheduled visits in the school calendar year. Relationships with schools and communities will be part of the service as promoting good oral health through a whānau ora approach is important.

The service will need to be a mobile service as there are no fixed facilities (dental clinics) on the coast, and a mobile self-contained unit capable of traversing SH35 where some parts of the roads are in poor condition (Note: it is fully sealed). The sites where the services will deliver from are school-based, with the furthest site (Hicks Bay) from Gisborne being just under 3-hours away. It is important therefore to note, that accommodation requirements if needed should be considered within your proposal; if working in an area over several days.

The service will need to be operational by Term 1 2021 (mid-February) with a start date of 1 March 2021; as this service is specific to adolescents, the majority of which are in school so will need to work within the four terms of the school calendar year.

The mobile service will need to be self-contained and fit for purpose to work on the coast, the school sites have mobile plug-in capability but it would also be useful if the unit were able to have its own power source; and stored water needs.
