Mount Isa / Gulf Family Support and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention and Support Services

⁠⁠⁠The Queensland Government Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services wishes to advise of the release of an Expression of Interest (EOI) for Mount Isa / Gulf Family Support and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention and Support Services (procurement reference DCCSDS0111.

This EOI is the first stage of a proposed multi-stage tender process. The EOI will seek information from potential suppliers on their proposed solution to deliver some or all of the following service packages at locations in Mount Isa and Gulf:
* Package 1 - Family and Child Connect
* Package 2 - Intensive Family Support
* Package 3 - Service System Integration
* Package 4 - Specialist DFV Services including Court Support
* Package 5 - Afterhours DFV Response
* Package 6 - Perpetrator Intervention Programs including Walking With Dads trial

The department believes the needs of individuals and families with multiple and complex needs can be best met by organisations working together in collaborative partnerships, so suppliers are encouraged to explore consortia or lead contractor with subcontracting arrangements with other organisations.

Suppliers that are shortlisted following the EOI process may be invited to take part in a proposed second stage of the tender process, anticipated to be a Request for Quote (RFQ). The RFQ process would request those shortlisted suppliers to provide a more detailed proposal to deliver the services for which they were shortlisted, including a fully costed pricing proposal. The anticipated outcome of the RFQ stage is to engage successful supplier to provide the service/s for which they were shortlisted.

Confirmation of the date and details will be posted as an Addendum to QTenders. The briefing will also be streamed live on You Tube for suppliers who are unable to attend in person.
