Overview

The purpose of this RFP is to run a Procurement in a Day (PIAD) which will involve presentations from suitably qualified suppliers to establish a Supplier Panel for ecological weed management services in our parks and reserves.

For both the short and longer term, the Council seeks to establish and build strong relationships with committed suppliers that have the experience and capabilities to consistently deliver the solutions on time, value for money, quality and provide reliable productivity.

The control of pest plant species and Council’s requirements for weed control is governed by Wellington City Council’s – Our Natural Capital Wellington’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, and subsequent documents.

Weed control is carried out to protect, enhance and restore existing ecosystems and habitats. Weeds targeted for control are based on ecological threat, control feasibility and community need.

What we need
We need established suppliers with an excellent track record in New Zealand, predominantly within the Wellington region to deliver weed control services to Wellington City.
We need a provider who understands whole of life value and has a successful reputation for achieving value-based solutions for their clients.
We need a provider who has well-established processes, systems and methods with well-qualified key personnel and resources who will provide ongoing support and management, including health & safety.

As part of this RFP, Suppliers will need to advise by 12pm 21/08/2026 of their intent to respond so we can schedule presentation times. These are currently set for 8-10 September. Suppliers will also need to submit a copy of their presentation slide pack, as well as the responses requested in the PIAD document by the closing of this tender (2/09/2026.) Please submit your intent to respond via email to WCCProcurementTender@wcc.govt.nz. Please submit your presentation slide pack, as well as the responses requested in the PIAD document final response via GETS. Please note that submissions via other channels will not be accepted. Please also note that WCC reserves the right to not offer a presentation to a supplier, or to withdraw the offer, should they not meet compliance requirements (i.e. pre-conditions are met, two-envelope format, signatures, and requested attachments are provided) or provide a submission that is manifestly not relevant.
