This request for proposal details the requirements set out by the Northland Regional Council for the selection of a consultant to work with the NRC to provide professional services to deliver a hull biofouling and marine pest compliance dive survey throughout the region for 2000 recreational and small commercial vessels.

This tender has been awarded to:

• BF SUTTON

Further Award Information:
We received tenders from nine suppliers in total, which we assessed using a scoring method based on survey methodology, price, experience and track record, technical skills, and management skills. Of the nine tenders received five were considered to have provided sufficient information and evidence of past dive survey work to be considered competent and able to carry out the requirements of the tender, with Marine Environmental Field Services winning the contract.

Four tenders had significant survey methodology based on remote operate vehicle (ROV) technology. However, after careful consideration we decided that at this point in time ROV technology (in relation to this tender) presents significant risk to the surveillance programme in terms of the lack of evidence provided as to how this technology can operate efficiently and effectively for the duration of the tender.

The attributes separating the five remaining occupational diving based tenders were price (with a heavy score weighting), technical skills, and time management and organization (a component of management skills).
