Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forest Service (TUR – NZFS) has a need to understand opportunities in New Zealand for purpose-grown exotic species woody biomass to be utilised as bioenergy or in the manufacture of high-value bioproducts. Key to gaining insight into this is a clear understanding of the potential risks associated with different forestry regimes and species. We are seeking a supplier to deliver a comprehensive Literature Review that draws on both international and domestic sources to review any current potential risks and mitigations, as well as examine climate change predictions to identify any potential future risks and mitigations.
The Ministry is looking for credible suppliers who have the capability, and experience to deliver a well-balanced structured literature review. The ideal supplier will be proficient in searching out relevant information and synthesising insights, including identification of knowledge gaps and recommendation for future actions. Note any consortium bids must have at least one invited supplier from the Panel as the proposal lead for contracting purposes.

The deliverables from this work will support the development of a woody biomass supply chain, creating opportunities to reduce reliance on fossil resources. It will help inform landowners exploring short-rotation biomass forestry with critical insights into associated risks, which differ from those of traditional forestry practices
