Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) undertake significant volumes of
environmental sampling throughout the Taranaki region primarily for the
purpose of State of Environment (SoE) and compliance monitoring in
association with the exercise of resource consents.
In 2018, a review of TRC's in-house laboratory indicated that significant
benefits, including cost savings could be achieved through moving to an
external laboratory. TRC undertook a request for proposal (RFP) for
laboratory services, with a view to closing their in-house laboratory. Hill
Laboratories Hamilton were the successful applicant of the proposal. The
initial contract was for a period of two years, with the option to extend the
contract for an additional two years which was utilised in 2020. The current
contract is due for renewal and TRC is seeking to adopt the most efficient
and effective option in terms of the provision of laboratory services. It is
also essential that TRC obtain high quality and convenience of service.
TRC are seeking detailed proposals from a closed group of external
providers.
TRC is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience
and infrastructure to deliver a comprehensive suite of laboratory services
required for the complete range of environmental monitoring undertaken in
Taranaki by the regional council. The service provider needs to
demonstrate a good track record in the administration and delivery of high
quality laboratory analysis and associated services. Strong relationships
with other local government organisations is important in conjunction with
an understanding and ability to meet the requirements/guidelines as set out
by MfE or the National Environmental Monitoring Standards (NEMS).
This is a closed RFP and only larger laboratories that appear to be
adequately accredited have been approached. Due to the maintenance of
long-term data sets for SoE monitoring, there is incentive for TRC to retain
the same service provider for an extended period. The proposed contract
length in this RFP is five years.
TRC works with the Taranaki community to help make the region a
fantastic place to live, play and do business. You can find out more about
