Health New Zealand Te Manawa Taki is looking for a dedicated health-transport provider to run a daily, Monday-Friday return service between Taumarunui and Waikato Hospital (with stops at Te Kuiti Hospital and Otorohanga) for eligible persons.
The successful Respondent must deliver a legally compliant, fit-for-purpose vehicle that seats at least 12 passengers and provide a qualified driver, routine vehicle maintenance, and an incident-management system. The service is a Health NZ initiative focused on rural patients in the Taumarunui catchment; it does not include public or commuter transport.

This is a unique opportunity to become a vital health‑access partner for a rural area with a strong Māori presence. By providing reliable, culturally safe transport you will help to boost appointment attendance and improve community health outcomes. Your organisation will gain recognition as a trusted local health provider and deepen relationships with iwi, hospitals and regional councils

Tenders close at 12pm Wednesday 15 April 2026 and must be submitted electronically via GETS.
