Tender Details
Tender Description
Corrective Services NSW intends to tender, subject to formal commitment of funds, for the provision of two services to assist offenders with specific transitional needs.
1. A mentoring service that uses volunteers to assist in the transition from custody to community and to enhance community engagement, for:
a) Inmates in custody to access pre release external leave programs before they are released. Pre release support will target correctional centres which are primarily located in the Hunter / Greater Western Sydney and South Coast areas; and
b) Offenders post release who are initially under CSNSW supervision in the community and are primarily located in Hunter / Greater Western Sydney and South Coast areas and possibly throughout NSW.
2. A transitional supported accommodation service to support higher risk parolees under the supervision of CSNSW in the community in the Hunter / Central Coast and Wollongong areas. The service (s) will be provided to clients for up to 12 weeks.
Service provision requires a high level of collaboration between CSNSW and the service provider.
An innovative approach to the development and delivery of both services is encouraged.
CSNSW is prepared to engage a single supplier to provide each or both services. The supplier may be a partnership or consortium and CSNSW encourages the formation of such arrangements to meet its needs.
