RFx ID: 35458785 Organisation: Otago Regional Council Open date: Monday, 9 November 2026 4:00 PM +13:00 Close date: Friday, 11 December 2026 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 81150000 - Earth science services Region: Otago Overview: In 2010, ORC developed a groundwater model to inform water management in the Lower Tarras, Bendigo, Lindis Alluvial Ribbon and Ardgour Aquifers (Houlbrooke, 2010). The model was used to set allocation limits that provided for both water reliability for water users and protection for the aquifers and connected surface water bodies to ensure allocation did not result in adverse environmental outcomes. With newly acquired information gathered since 2010, and significant land use changes in the area, it is timely to review the legacy groundwater model and update our understanding of the aquifers systems. Through model development and appropriate predictive scenario modelling the successful applicant can help us understand water reliability and aquifer vulnerability to support resource management and allocation decisions.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment 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.
