This update is to include the RFP and associated documentation for Respondents to provide a Proposal for the provision of Market Research Surveys - Assets to the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission/Te Waihanga (Infracom)

This advance notice is to provide an early indication of the release of an RFP for market research services to assist in the development of a 30-year infrastructure strategy and an infrastructure pipeline for the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, Te Waihanga, (Infracom).
