The Supply of Mobility and Functional Support (MFS) Services to Entitled Persons Throughout Australia
Tender ID: 247719
Tender Details
Tender Description
A key program of the health care arrangements administered by DVA is the Rehabilitation Appliances Program (RAP). Approximately $172 million is spent annually on RAP, which aims to restore, facilitate or maintain functional independence and/or minimise disability or dysfunction as part of the provision of aids and appliances.
As part of RAP, DVA provides entitled persons with access to both short and long term mobility and functional support products and services. MFS products range from eating utensils, through wheelchairs and electric scooters, through to powered adjustable beds and home modifications. DVA's national expenditure for MFS products for the financial year ending June 2015 was approximately $80 million with services provided to 54,500 entitled persons.
DVA will only consider tenders from organisations with the demonstrated capability to provide MFS products through a fully national service, including supplying to regional and remote addresses. Tenderers should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the particular needs of the veteran community in the supply of MFS products and services.
The period of the Deed of Agreement resulting from this tender will be three (3) years, with an option clause to extend for up to a further 24 months, at DVA’s discretion. The current contracts for MFS products and services expire on 31 April 2016.
