Are you seeking funding for an idea?
Requests for funding for service delivery that occurs outside of MPHN’s formal commissioning approach to market can be submitted as an unsolicited proposal.
MPHN understands that local providers view the primary health sector from a unique perspective that enables them to identify emerging service needs from time to time. MPHN seeks to develop the local market by supporting providers to design innovative services that meet these emerging needs.
‘Unsolicited proposals’ is a process that enables providers to trial innovative initiatives to deliver effective health outcomes for the community, outside of a formal approach to market. The process also ensures proposals are considered for funding in a fair and transparent manner and that outcomes are linked to priority needs of the region.
MPHN’s response to unsolicited proposals will be in line with our commissioning principles outlined in our Commissioning Framework consistent our organisational vision, values and strategic goals, along with our commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. For a proposal to be considered it must align with the needs identified in our Needs Assessment and propose innovative value for money solutions.
An unsolicited proposal should show innovation and their unique placement to deliver the activity and achieve outcomes, justifying MPHN’s departure from a competitive tender processes. If a proposal can readily be delivered by competitors then it will not be sufficient to be considered as an unsolicited proposal.
All unsolicited proposals will be assessed against an agreed assessment criteria and in accordance with the defined procedure. Any allocations will depend on availability of funding in the financial year, commissioning priorities and available capacity. All funding provided is dependent on continued funding from the Australian Government Department of Health.
If you are seeking funding for a service that delivers effective health outcomes for the community, you can apply for an unsolicited proposal here.
Before applying, we encourage you to read the Unsolicited Proposal Fact Sheet for further information about the application and evaluation process.
