The New Zealand Aid Programme, acting for and on behalf of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), is inviting submissions of responses from suitably qualified and experienced organisations (including consortia) to provide warehousing, management and freight forwarding services for its humanitarian relief supplies. (the “Activity”). These supplies are dispatched in short timeframes to Pacific and Asia countries during emergency and humanitarian events at MFAT’s request. The goal of the contract is to provide a streamlined end to end supply chain that supports the efficient and effective distribution of relief supplies from New Zealand. The service is expected to be available 24/365 (on call).

The anticipated contract term is for a 3 year period that may be extended for a further 2 year period. The contract will include:

• The provision of an Auckland based warehouse operation;
• Purchasing of supplies on behalf of MFAT;
• Picking and packing of supplies;
• Transportation of the supplies to designated departure locations;
• Freight forwarding services to the destination countries;
• Management of all associated documentation including customs requirements and declarations;

Examples of the relief supplies dispatched from New Zealand include tarpaulins for shelter, collapsible water bottles, generators, tool kits and chainsaws. The successful supplier(s) will be instructed to purchase and manage the supplies on MFAT’s behalf from its nominated suppliers of relief supplies. New Zealand’s requirements for response include the Pacific Cyclone season, which is typically November to March.
