What the buyer is requesting
Details
The Department of Education (DoE) invites responses to this Request for Information (RFI) for the quality assurance assessment of suppliers seeking to provide Targeted Engagement Programs in Queensland state schools.

The purpose of this RFI is to establish and maintain a register of pre-qualified suppliers for the delivery of Targeted Engagement Programs in Queensland state schools.

This RFI sets out the mandatory requirements and pre-qualification criteria against which respondents will be assessed, including their capability, capacity, experience and suitability to deliver Targeted Engagement Programs.

The RFI will remain open on an ongoing basis to allow suppliers to submit responses over time. Responses received will be assessed periodically, with assessments expected to occur quarterly. The initial assessment is scheduled to commence late Quarter 4, 2026 with the preferred supplier list to be published for schools to access in Semester 1, 2027.

These assessments will support the ongoing development and maintenance of the pre-qualified supplier register, including consideration of new submissions received since the previous assessment.

Background information / Compatibility requirements
Details
The Department of Education is supporting students who need it most by providing funding directly to Queensland state schools with identified challenges to implement a Targeted Engagement Program.

Targeted Engagement Programs aim to improve attendance, decrease school disciplinary absences, increase Years 10-12 retention and assist students to transition from school to employment, training or further education by providing wraparound support and safe spaces to students.

Targeted Engagement Programs will be at the discretion of each school to support re-engagement needs, regardless of cultural background allowing more students access to programs.

Interested suppliers are highly encouraged to watch the information presentation to ensure their services align with Targeted Engagement Programs aims.

HOW TO RESPOND TO RFI:

1. Review all documentation.

2. Complete and return: QG_DoE 270_Request for Information_Targeted Engagement Programs Section 2.docx
