List of Recommendations
Recommendation 1
3.112 The committee recommends that future tender
rounds are not blanket competitive processes and are underpinned by robust
service planning and needs mapping.
Recommendation 2
3.113 The committee recommends that future tendering
processes should be planned strategically, with a clear sense of service gaps

tendering or alternative funding process should be conducted in a manner which
enhances the capacity of organisations to meet community needs.

effectiveness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations to provide
to their community beyond the service they are directly contracted to provide.
