New and improved after-hours and urgent care services are being implemented in the context of other new and/or changing primary care initiatives including expanded digital teleconsultation solutions and changes to PHO accountabilities and funding settings. Health NZ expects after-hours and urgent care providers to work collaboratively and in good faith with Health NZ, PHO's, primary and community care providers including general practices and emergency departments to deliver accessible services. The New and Improves Urgent and After-hours Care Framework (the framework) was published in May 2025. This is attached and forms part of this RFP. The framework describes urgent and after-hours care service types, based on population, geographic and community characteristics. The framework is intended to provide minimum expectations only - Health NZ and providers can agree variations, adaptations and additional features based on local demand.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
