This procurement relates to the delivery of evidence to inform a review of freshwater allocation policy at a national level. Previously the Ministry has undertaken individual catchment case studies to assess the economic implications of different allocation policies. Going forward we wish to undertake analysis at a national level or for multiple regions.

This RFP relates to the purchase of modelling services to general data on the relationships between water use, water supply reliability, contaminant discharges and profit (or cost) for different irrigation water users. The key deliverable required is a dataset to be used as input in component A. The supplier for component A would use this data to test the direct economic implications (i.e. costs and benefits to different water users) of different possible central government policy approaches to allocate fresh water and assimilative capacity at a national level (or for multiple regions).

We need to quantify the economic implications of different possible central government policy approaches to allocate fresh water and assimilative capacity at a national level (or for multiple regions). The analysis needs to quantify the aggregate direct costs or benefits water users are likely to experience from changes in allocation policy. These changes in policy are not expected to generate significant economy-wide changes in prices.
The analysis will be broken down into two main components:
• Component A: National economic analysis
• Component B: Land/water use modelling
