GRC wishes to establish a Preferred Supplier Arrangement (PSA) and/or Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers (RPQS) to engage qualified and registered health professionals and/or clinics to provide a range of health services. The key objective is for the approximately 750 GRC employees to have access to high-quality, accessible, and comprehensive healthcare services.
The following health services are required:
Prescription Safety Glasses: GRC requires Optometrists (Service Provider) from time to time to support the health, safety, and wellbeing of its workforce. The objective of these services is to ensure employees maintain optimal visual health, particularly those undertaking roles that involve extended computer use, safety-sensitive tasks, or work environments where clear vision is essential.
Additionally, GRC may engage optometry services in response to workplace health and safety incidents involving eye injuries or exposure (eg. foreign objects entering the eye) to support appropriate medical assessment and recovery.
On-Site Skin Checks: GRC requires qualified and experienced Service Providers on a PSA to provide the following services annually that include:
• Health professionals to run skin check screening clinics throughout the Gladstone Region;
• Delivery of education to workers regarding checking their own skin;
• Any after-care recommendations from the assessment (if required); and
• Statistical Reports after completion of the assessments
Selection for a PSA/RPQS gives no guarantee or representation as to the volume or value of orders to be issued by Council.
