Financial Counselling Services
939 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (3 July 2019). When will the tender be advertised for a financial counselling service to replace the Department of Child Protection's soon to be discontinued Financial Wellbeing Counselling Service?
The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:
At the time of estimates 2018, the Department for Chid Protection had intended to undertake a tender process. However, following a thorough review and scan of the market, it became clear that to undertake a competitive tender process would have been financially inefficient as the same providers who engage with the Department of Human Services most likely would have submitted a bid.
In February 2019 the State Procurement Board approved an acquisition plan for DCP to enter direct negotiations with DHS, Relationships Australia and CREATE.
