Overview

Future Procurement Opportunity

WasteNet operates as a shared service providing joint waste management and minimisation services to Gore District Council (GDC), Invercargill City Council (ICC), and Southland District Council (SDC). A key role of WasteNet is to manage external contracts to provide safe, effective and efficient waste services to the Southland Region.

The WasteNet councils operate a network of 10 resource recovery centres (formally known as refuse transfer stations), 14 recycle drop off centres, transport and collection services throughout the Southland Region. These services along with the processing of materials are currently managed through two contracts, expiring in June 2027.

A Request for Information was released in December 2024 to understand market interest and supplier capability for the delivery of waste services across the Southland region. This process was undertaken alongside a section 17a service delivery review and has informed the scope of services as well as the proposed procurement approach. WasteNet can now provide early notice to the market ahead of a formal procurement process.
