Chaplaincy Services
Tender Overview
About this tender
NSW Police Force is seeking chaplaincy service providers to supply chaplains capable of delivering, spiritual and pastoral care to serving and former members and their families. Project goals: NSWPF aims to secure chaplaincy services from qualified faith-based providers to deliver spiritual and pastoral care across the organisation. This RFT invites suitably qualified service providers to submit tenders to deliver these services under a fixed-fee agreement in accordance with the specified terms and conditions. Scope: NSW Police Force seeks to engage paid chaplaincy service providers to deliver services across four regions: Central Metropolitan and Northern; North West Metropolitan and Western; South West Metropolitan and Southern; and the NSWPF Academy. One or more providers may be appointed, with the goal of achieving a diverse mix of faith groups that reflects both the NSWPF workforce and the broader community. Each provider will nominate one or more chaplains to deliver pastoral and spiritual care to current and former NSWPF members and their families, and to support the volunteer chaplain network that forms the NSWPF Chaplaincy Program.

How to respond to this tender
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Read the requirements in full
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Answer every criterion with evidence
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Lodge early through the official portal
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
