Overview

The New Zealand Commerce Commission (the Commission) is New Zealand's competition regulator. One of our functions is to actively monitor and promote competition in telecommunications markets; and ensure consumers benefit from better service, prices and choice.
The Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) programme monitors the New Zealand broadband market to shine a light on broadband performance across different providers, plans, technologies and geographic areas, helping consumers choose the best broadband for their homes.
We are seeking an independent testing and reporting partner to conduct testing and provide reports for the MBNZ programme and work with us to evolve the programme to keep pace with the changing need for broadband performance information for consumers, broadband providers and the Commission.


The Commission is looking for a testing and reporting partner who has the capability, experience and technical merit to independently test broadband performance, and report those results in a relevant and accessible way to consumers and broadband providers in the market.
You will have a good track record of previous projects that demonstrate your ability to provide reliable and robust testing, alongside quality, easily accessible reporting. You will also be prepared to work with the Commission and broadband providers to continue to support and evolve the MBNZ programme over the life of the contract.


This is a 3-5 year opportunity to showcase your expertise in a well-developed and diverse broadband market using Copper, Fibre, Satellite and Fixed Wireless technologies to deliver broadband to New Zealand.
Your involvement will support broadband providers ability to provide accurate representations of broadband performance to consumers under their new industry marketing code and help consumers make price/quality decisions between access technologies and broadband providers, by providing easily accessible, robust and relevant information.
Your work in the high profile programme will also assist the industry to understand the relationships between network performance and consumer experience, incentivising efficient investment and competition to meet consumer needs.

We intend to go to market in late April or early May 2022. The opportunity will be advertised on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS).
