The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides eligible members of the veteran community with access to quality health care and support services. The Medical Grade Footwear (MGF) Program is an important part of DVA’s health care arrangements and is part of the Rehabilitation Appliance Program (RAP). The MGF Program provides nation-wide access to a wide range of MGF and related services for entitled persons.
DVA’s procurement strategy for the provision of MGF is to improve MGF supply arrangements and reduce red tape for all stakeholders
DVA is offering agreements for the supply of MGF products and services through a simplified procurement model where all MGF suppliers who meet the minimum requirements can participate. The key features of the model are:
DVA publishes the agreement on AusTender and its website so that all potential MGF suppliers have an opportunity to enter into an agreement with DVA.
MGF suppliers who meet the pre-conditions for the agreement and certify compliance with DVA standards (i.e., the Terms and Conditions and the Notes for Medical Grade Footwear Suppliers) will be included on DVA’s list of contracted MGF suppliers.
The agreement stands indefinitely, allowing new MGF suppliers to join at any time.
Prices on the MGF Register and the MGF Fee Schedules are fixed prices and are non-negotiable.
DVA provides no guarantee of business.
DVA reviews the agreement, the MGF Register and the MGF Fee Schedules periodically.
