DPC-2017—Invitation to provide Day Procedure Centre Services to the Veteran Community

The Invitation to provide Day Procedure Centre Services to the Veteran Community seeks to ensure that the veteran and Defence Force communities, and their treating doctors, continue to have wide access to high quality stand-alone Day Procedure Centre services. Eligible providers are invited to submit an Invitation Response Proforma and apply to contract with DVA through a new, simplified arrangement. The key features of the new arrangements are: an overall objective of maximising the numbers of participating providers, to achieve wide access to DPCs for the veteran community; there is no formal comparison of responses against each other; providers are required to submit their fee tables and acknowledge their compliance with the terms and conditions of this Invitation; providers declare their ability to comply with DVA’s terms and conditions of the DPC Services Agreement; providers can submit a response and apply to enter into the DPC Services Agreement at any time while this Invitation is available on AusTender; the Agreement will continue until either party ends the arrangements; and there is a standard DPC Services Agreement with negotiation only on fees to ensure value for money.
