New Zealand has been supporting access to lifesaving medical treatment for patients from certain Pacific countries for over 30 years. The New Zealand Medical Treatment Scheme (NZ MTS) will provide timely and high quality specialist health services to Vanuatu, Fiji, Kiribati, Tonga and Tuvalu. All countries, except Vanuatu, have their own government funded overseas referral schemes, which the NZMTS complements. A 2014 review found clear qualitative evidence that the NZMTS was successfully meeting clinical needs and funding specialist hospital treatment needs that would otherwise be unmet.

Offers are invited from suitably qualified and experienced organisations and consortia for the next phase of NZMTS service provision. NZMTS Services include the provision of visiting medical teams to the countries, overseas referrals for treatment within the region and support to strengthen in-country clinical capacity and capability within the annual budget allocated to each country. The next phase of the NZMTS will commence on 1 February 2017 and continue until 31 December 2019, with the possibility of a 2 year extension to the term. MFAT has planned for a phased transition to full service provision by 1 April 2017 and 1 May 2017, depending on the service. Within the contract term, MFAT may adjust the budget allocated to each country and the number of countries to whom the NZMTS is available.

In addition to a response meeting all requirements of the Terms of Reference, Respondents may provide alternative proposals offering additional innovation within the scheme. See the RFP and ADD documents for more details.
