We require suitably skilled and experienced contractors to undertake riparian tree maintenance and topping of tree assets in the Lower Clutha and Lower Taieri Flood Protection and Drainage Schemes. Their root systems stabilise drain and riverbank soils, and ongoing maintenance preserves tree structures and prevents overhanging and uprooting which helps avoid waterway blockages, damming, and washouts—ultimately enhancing flood resilience and reducing long-term maintenance needs. This work will be delivered across two (2) contract packages covering Flood Protection and Drainage Schemes in Lower Clutha and Lower Taieri.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

This includes formal contracts as well as arrangements that, while not formalised as contracts, involve payment for goods or services (such as purchase orders, letters of engagement, or verbal or informal agreements). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ORC also wishes to examine the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used within these arrangements to assess whether they are well-designed, clearly linked to intended outcomes, and capable of supporting effective and accountable performance monitoring.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>
