The department released a request for tender (RFT) for the capacity building project of the Partners in Recovery: coordinated support and flexible funding for people with severe, persistent mental illness and complex needs (PIR) initiative. The RFT closed at 2.00pm local Canberra time on Friday, 2 November 2012.
The PIR capacity building project will support the implementation of the PIR initiative through national networking and information sharing, and will provide sustained support to, and build the capacity of, PIR organisations and support facilitators. The project will seek to create an environment that:
- enhances the knowledge base and expertise within PIR organisations
- establishes and maintains strong service delivery partnerships and
- assists Medicare Local geographic regions to implement innovative and effective ways to improve a coordinated, comprehensive system response to better meet the needs of people with severe and persistent mental illness with complex needs.
- build strong networks amongst PIR organisations through establishing formalised opportunities for face to face contact through, at a minimum, an annual national workshop, and state/ territory workshops or network meetings/ activities
- establish a central point of access to the tools and resources developed to support implementation of PIR, and provision of ongoing training and support to use the tools and resources as required
- document and disseminate information/resources on successful, innovative and best practice approaches to implement PIR
- develop a PIR web portal or similar function that may have social networking tools such as sharepoint, blog, wiki, and other information technologies that enable dialogue, trouble-shooting, information exchange and dissemination, knowledge transfer, and a way to keep PIR organisations abreast of trends and developments and
- have a direct link to the PIR evaluator to ensure information generated through the capacity building project is available to inform PIR evaluation and monitoring activities.
