Ara Poutama Aotearoa | Department of Corrections is now procuring dental services for people in prison. This is the last in a series of three advertisements on GETS.
The Department is operating an openly advertised competitive tender process inviting tenders from qualified dental practitioners who are dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of people in our care.
I will provide tender documentation to interested parties via email. If you have not already expressed interest you need to email me at tenders@corrections.govt.nz with “Dental services” in the subject and I will email you the tender documentation. I will also publish the documentation here on the government electronic tendering system where you can download it if that is more convenient. Note: the government electronic tendering system is only being used as an advertising mechanism and all communications and your proposals must be via email to tenders@corrections.govt.nz.
