Overview

From March to May 2022, the Government consulted on proposals for a New Zealand Container Return Scheme (NZ CRS) for beverage containers. The consultation sought views on whether refillable containers should be included in a NZ CRS, if a scheme proceeds. Cabinet decisions are pending on the implementation of a NZ CRS.
The work is required to provide the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) with evidence-based analysis, options and recommendations that could inform future policy development towards a national scale refillable beverage container system or systems.
MfE is seeking to appoint a supplier or suppliers who has/have the capability, capacity, and technical expertise to undertake and provide the Ministry with evidence-based analysis, options, and recommendations for a nation-wide refillable beverage container system(s) for Aotearoa New Zealand. The proposals could be complementary to, and potentially integrated with a future NZ CRS if it proceeds, or other existing/future recycling initiatives.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute towards the evidence-base for refillable beverage systems in Aotearoa New Zealand, supporting future policy development further up the waste hierarchy.

We welcome joint proposals from more than one supplier with complementary skills.

Further Award Information:
THIS IS NOT AN AWARDED CONTRACT- PROCUREMENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED:

This procurement has been cancelled due to links with the decision to defer the introduction of the Container Return Scheme (CRS).

Decisions on whether to proceed with a Container Return Scheme are being deferred to the next term of Government.

Beca Limited and Reuse Aotearoa, together with their team of subcontracted partners (Para Kore Marae Inc, Reloop, and Envision) were identified as the preferred suppliers following the evaluation process.

The CRS deferral was announced during contract negotiations, and subsequently prior to contract signature, the decision was made to put this procurement on hold for now.
