Last week, Government confirmed the procurement approach for NSW’s Thriving Kids program.
Here a few important points for you to know or check out:
- EOIs close 3:00pm 29 May 2026. You must complete an EOI to be eligible for the RFT stage (late submissions will not be accepted).
- The last day for enquiries to DCJ is 22 May 2026. The FAQs will update as they receive questions. If you have any questions about Thriving Kids Procurement, we recommend emailing [email protected].
- DCJ’s industry briefing recording is now available online. The session is for information only and does not form part of the procurement process. You can watch this here or view the slides here.
- Remember to sign up to the mailing list – To receive updates on Thriving Kids in NSW, make sure to subscribe to DCJ’s mailing list.
- Review DCJ’s Thriving Kids website and check the FAQs regularly – All information about procurement so far and the Thriving Kids program is listed on DCJ’s website.
- Prepare for Procurement with buy.NSW Supplier Hub and DCJs Procurement Central portal – The information released so far tells us NGO procurement will occur through a two‑stage process consisting of an EOI and RFT process. You will need access to both platforms to apply.
Fams will continue to keep the sector informed and supported throughout this process and will share new information as soon as it becomes available to us.
