DECYP is seeking to enter into contracts with one or more suppliers for the delivery of Out of Home Care Services across a care continuum, including one or more of
- family-based care, including foster care, kinship care, small-group foster care and specialised foster care
- residential care, including small-group residential care, intensive residential care and specialised rostered care
- services supporting growing into adulthood, and
- related Services
The Department is particularly interested in proposals that could improve care outcomes for children and young people by
- Supporting evolution from intensive or residential care toward more independent living or family-based care, and
- Improving financial sustainability for the Department and suppliers
Contract length may depend on service type and proposal. Successful suppliers would also be appointed to a broader Panel of providers of Child and Family Services, with a likely agreement term of more than seven years.
