Healthcare Services

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.
