Freshwater Farm Plans are a new legal instrument under Part 9A of the Resource Management Act 1991. Part 9A establishes two new statutory roles for Freshwater Farm Plans – certifiers and auditors. The Ministry for the Environment wishes to build the capacity of the Freshwater Farm Plan workforce by promoting the opportunity to be appointed as certifiers and/or auditors under the Resource Management (Freshwater Farm Plans) Regulations 2023.
Through this RFP we are seeking proposals from suppliers with relevant experience and capability, to design and deliver a national campaign to promote the opportunity to be appointed as a Freshwater Farm Plan certifier and/or auditor, and what appointment entails.
The services will involve designing and planning the campaign in consultation with the Ministry and its stakeholders, with delivery commencing in late 2023/early 2024 aligned to the regional rollout of the Regulations. It is important that suppliers have relevant experience designing and delivering promotion campaigns in the rural sector to the relevant audiences.
An online briefing for interested suppliers will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, 29 August 2023. See Section 1 of the RFP for details.
No Winner
The Government intends to improve freshwater farm plans so that they are more cost-effective and practical for farmers and is exploring how to make any changes fair for all farmers. This may include looking at whether current requirements to complete a freshwater farm plan could be paused while improvements are developed.
As a result of the improvement process, the Ministry has determined that the services and outputs which it planned to procure as part of this procurement process are no longer required, would not represent public value in the context of current policy direction, and may be inconsistent with current Government policy and objectives.
The Ministry is therefore cancelling the procurement process and will not award any contract/s for services as anticipated. This notification follows careful consideration of the impact of the exceptional circumstances arising from the formation of a new Government after the Ministry commenced the procurement process.
