This FOI release comprises internal Department of Health and Aged Care documents concerning a $1.53 million contract with Miles Morgan Australia (MMA) to transition the Whitehorse Meals on Wheels enterprise resourcing planning (ERP) software, oversight and support to Newcastle Meals on Wheels under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). The commitment approval minute, dated January 2024 and recommending a prepayment of $675,148.62 (GST inclusive), records a limited tender justified by MMA's specialist knowledge, and rates the procurement risk as low. Supporting material includes a contract variation draft, a value for money assessment, delegate procurement guidance and a confidentiality deed poll. The papers link the transition to the broader Future Fit initiative, which aims to benchmark financial viability and test a consistent meal definition ahead of CHSP's transition to Support at Home in 2027. No clinical efficacy or safety data is included.
