 We need the Successful Respondent to collate all key regulations that farmers and growers must comply with in New Zealand to carry out their business:
o By end of May 2019, complete an initial stocktake of priority areas as defined by MPI.
o By December 2019, complete the full stocktake and project write up. This will include working with industry, to link the collated requirements to relevant existing parts of their farm planning and assurance programmes where possible and practicable.
 The collated information will be in document format as well as in a format suitable for an online tool.
o The content will be in plain English with a broad overview of each minimum requirement, and links to the where the details can be found. The Successful Respondent should provide links to existing further resources and existing further advice/training in the content.
o Collation will start with key regulatory requirements administered by MPI (such as biosecurity, food safety and animal welfare), then move on to other attributes such as Ministry for the Environment (MfE) environmental requirements, and others such as health and safety, and labour. This collation will be the basis of the content of an online tool, which will have links to existing resources and guidance.
o The project must identify minimum regulatory requirements in a farmer/grower centric manner e.g. regionally and district relevant, by farm type, species, crop and relevant farm tasks.

No Winner Due to the RFP requirements (time, deliverables etc) and budget challenges that evolved, it was agreed within the MPI business unit that the RFP was not able to be met in entirety through market responses (this only became apparent as responses were worked through and in detail).
Therefore MPI have had to devolve this back to internal resources for resetting of requirements and solution provision.
