Tender Details
Department of Communities and Justice, through Youth Justice, is
seeking new providers for the Bail Accommodation program
throughout NSW. Obtaining access to these services is essential
for young people who would otherwise be homeless or remain on
avoidable remand. Youth Justice is seeking service providers to
provide accommodation for young people referred by NSW
Police, or otherwise involved with Youth Justice and unable to
return home.
Through the Bail & Accommodation Support Service (BASS),
Youth Justice secures placements for young people on a fee-for service
basis for up to 28 days, principally through its after-hours
assistance to NSW Police. This procurement seeks to broaden
the reach of BASS by identifying suitable providers in new areas
including Northern NSW, Mid North Coast, New England, Hunter
and South West Sydney.
Youth Justice funding is a contribution to the costs of supporting
young people experiencing homelessness but does not extend to
sustaining standalone services. The Bail & Accommodation
Support Service seeks to divert young people from custody by
referring them to suitable accommodation providers. Once a
young person is placed the BASS team liaises with the provider
on a regular basis to assist the young person meet the conditions
of their bail, address specific needs, and support their transition
either back home or to a longer-term accommodation setting.
DCJ has also released another open tender concurrently for a
similar project with reference RFX_845 – Youth Justice BASS
Project – Youth Justice Accommodation.
The Youth Justice Accommodation program seeks providers in
Metropolitan Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, and the Riverina.
