The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) of New Zealand is looking to procure a consultancy firm to conduct a review of ‘land-based farm systems research’ in New Zealand. The purpose of the review is to investigate whether investment in scientific programmes and capability relating to farm systems is meeting the national need. MBIE is seeking to better understand New Zealand’s land-based farm system research capability and performance in order to manage investment and plan future investments.

The Ministry is looking for credible suppliers who have the capability, capacity and experience to undertake the review. They need to have the required technical expertise and a good track record in undertaking similar reviews.

No Winner MBIE received a number of responses to the RFP and has decided not to appoint a supplier to undertake the land-based farm systems review at this time. We are specifically seeking to better understand international emerging and future trends, which are of major importance to New Zealand. Most proposals did, to some degree, include an outline on how to establish New Zealand’s capability in land-based farm systems, however what was missing in the proposals is a specific international and future focused outlook. This outlook is needed to manage current investments and plan future investments.

We are now reconsidering our requirements and reassessing how these requirements align with government priorities.
