RFQ: Development and Production of Impact Report

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre Ltd, VCCC Alliance, is putting out a Request for Quote (RFQ), seeking an external provider to develop and produce an Impact Report for VCCC Alliance. The report will cover, but is not limited to, activities accomplished as part of the Strategic Program Plan (SPP) 2021-2024.

02 Apr 2024

Background

The VCCC Alliance is Australia’s first and largest comprehensive cancer centre providing a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to cancer research, education and clinical care. Founded in the holistic principles of the internationally recognised Comprehensive Cancer Centre model, the VCCC Alliance brings together 10 of Victoria’s leading research, academic, and clinical institutions to achieve what can only be done through state-wide collaboration. Together, our vision is to improve outcomes in cancer in metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria, and forge novel approaches to cancer research, education, and patient care for all.

The VCCC Alliance, adopting a collective impact approach, brings together the complementary strengths of the members and regional partners. This is achieved through the VCCC Alliance Strategic Program Plan (SPP) 2021–2024, a Victorian Government initiative to help deliver the Victorian cancer plan 2020–2024. The SPP 2021–2024 is funded to develop, implement, and deliver 10 programs of work with goals, key performance indicators (KPIs) and key measures. The VCCC Alliance also supports additional areas of work as part of its strategy, including the Master of Cancer Sciences, SKILLED Clinical Trial Internships and statewide consumer-led Research Partnership.
