Tender Overview
About this tender
NWMPHN is inviting applicants to tender for the Neighbourhood Care Team for the Healthcare Neighbourhood project. NWMPHN seeks to commission one suitable organisation to provide three highly mobile, three-person teams to work with selected general practices in Brimbank (general practices are currently being sourced and will be confirmed following contract award). The Neighbourhood Care Team will play a key role in delivering multidisciplinary care to patients with complex needs. A maximum funding of $2,811,600.00 (ex. GST) till 30 June 2028 is available for this RFT. Hospitals and acute care service providers are not eligible to apply for this funding. This RFT is intended for primary care providers only. However, if an organisation classified as a hospital or acute care provider also operates community health or primary care services within Brimbank, it may be eligible but only if it can clearly demonstrate that those services meet all required capabilities outlined in this RFT. Additionally, providers currently applying to participate in the project as a general practice via Select Request for Tender are not eligible to apply for this funding. This Request for Tender Applications close on Tuesday 07 of July 2026. Applicants are advised to carefully review the Specifications and General Terms outlined in the Request for Tender (RFT) document prior to completing the tendering portal application form.
