Overview

New Zealand Police invite responses to this RFP to provide helicopter services to the Air Support Unit (ASU) based in Auckland.

The solution sought will enable the ASU to fly a planned 3,300 hours per year that may be flown at any time on a 24/7 basis.

Services are to be provided by an Air Operator in possession of a general aviation air operator certificate issued under Part 119 of Civil Aviation Rules (CAR).

Aircraft maintenance is to be provided by a CAR Part 145 certified Maintenance Organisation.

Scope of the requirements includes supply and maintenance of:
• twin-engine, helicopters and are;
o dedicated to ASU and available 24/7/365;
o supported by processes that enable immediate deployment on request to fly and able to transverse Auckland air space within 20 minutes.
• pilots; and
• building facilities including heliport, hangar and staff working facilities.

The base is to be located within the Auckland region from a location in close proximity to main road networks, ideally within approximately 20 km of Auckland’s CBD.
