While in-depth knowledge of Velvetleaf is not essential, someone who understands the arable and rural sectors and general biosecurity practices is preferred.  We need someone who is proactive and self-managing, who has the ability to travel across the North Island, particularly during the peak season between October and May. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note: a respondent briefing session will be held on 20 July 2026 at 1:00pm - register your interest to attend by notifying the point of contact. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The RFP closes at 4:00pm Friday, 31 July 2026 and must be submitted electronically via GETS.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

This RFP covers Unit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. The contracts are to run for a period of 9 years with an option to extend by 2 years. Contracts for Units 1 &amp;amp; 2, start on1 July 2028 and Contracts for Units for Units 3, 4, 5 and 10 start on 1 November 2027.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are looking to achieve our goal of full decarbonisation of the bus fleet by 2035. We are adopting a market‑led approach to the timing and staging of ZEB transition. No pre‑determined split of diesel versus electric fleet is being imposed at the start of contracts, providing flexibility for you to optimise fleet investment but the expectation is that we achieve a fully ZEB fleet by 2035.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a briefing for interested respondents via MS Teams on Wednesday 15 April 2026 and 1pm. To register for our respondent briefing session, contact our Point of Contact via GETS with the name and contact details of each attendee and a Teams link will be sent to you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please note: Attachment 7 will be issued during the response period.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>
