Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is preparing to undertake a procurement process for the national supply of medical gases and associated services across all districts.
The procurement will cover the supply of critical-to-life gases, including, but not limited to, oxygen (bulk and cylinder), Entonox, carbon dioxide, medical air, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and other specialty medical gases. In addition, this opportunity may include associated service components such as home oxygen therapy, equipment provision, and support services.
Health New Zealand is seeking to modernise and strengthen its approach to this category, including exploring innovative and proven supply models that improve resilience, efficiency, and service delivery across a geographically diverse network of facilities, including rural and hard-to-access locations.
The existing national contract is approaching end-of-life, and Health NZ intends to establish future supply arrangements through an open Request for Proposal (RFP). The final procurement structure is still being considered and may include multiple service components, supply categories, geographic regions, or delivery models to encourage broad market participation and support a resilient national supply model. Potential procurement structures may include segmentation by geography, supply type, or service offering to support greater market participation and supply resilience. Health New Zealand welcomes innovative approaches that support continuity of supply across the network.
This FPO is intended to provide early visibility to the market and to encourage broad market participation through this procurement. Health New Zealand welcomes interest from suppliers that can deliver services nationally, regionally, or within specific service components. Health New Zealand encourages interested suppliers to monitor the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) for the formal release of the RFP, anticipated in September–October 2026. Health New Zealand may engage with the market prior to release of the RFP to support planning and procurement design. This FPO and any subsequent RFP are subject to change or cancellation.
