Kia ora,

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), a major government agency, is the current steward of the New Zealand Geotechnical Database (NZGD). We are seeking to engage with Suppliers in the purchase of a solution offering the hosting of publicly accessible geotechnical data for an initial term of five years with options to extend.

The NZGD is a unique data-sharing platform for geotechnical information and records in New Zealand. To date the NZGD had more than 11,000 users and around 168,000 geotechnical test uploads. The NZGD was initially established by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) in 2013 under urgency.

Efficient availability of geotechnical information provides an immediate benefit to geotechnical practitioners, private and public sector clients, and communities by providing data for high-level regional assessments. It reduces the costs by avoiding potential testing duplication of sub-surface geotechnical investigation and enhances information storage and retrieval.

This opportunity is to place NZGD on a firm professional, technological and fiscally sustainable basis for the next decade. The RFP seeks a solution that matches the existing capability and features with the ability to evolve and extend in the future. The solution will initially incorporate service management; user registration and onboarding; data management; change management; consistent and excellent security posture; and spatial location of investigation data.

The RFP is an invitation to qualified Suppliers to submit a proposal for the NZGD contract opportunity. If you wish to apply, please subscribe on the New Zealand Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS - gets.govt.nz). If you are not registered on GETS, select the Supplier Login (top-right) and complete the registration process. Once you’re in you’ll have access to all New Zealand Government Tenders.

All enquiries must be directed to our Point of Contact via GETS (gets.govt.nz). We will manage all external communications via GETS including briefing session registration, notice of intention to respond, and questions.

RFP Response submissions must be submitted using the GETS submission tool.

No Winner Thank you for your responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP) 4385 New Zealand Geotechnical Database, 10 August 2023.

After completing an extensive evaluation process, MBIE announces Beca as the Supplier contracted to supply the replacement New Zealand Geotechnical Database.

I will be sending out an email with an opportunity for a debrief in the coming weeks.

Thank you & kind regards,
Steve Eades
