RFx ID: 34547783 Organisation: Selwyn Water Limited Open date: Thursday, 23 July 2026 5:00 PM +12:00 Close date: Friday, 16 October 2026 4:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 23100000 - Raw materials processing machinery 30000000 - Structures and Building and Construction and Manufacturing Components and Supplies 31000000 - Manufacturing Components and Supplies 83100000 - Utilities 95120000 - Permanent buildings and structures Region: Canterbury Overview: Selwyn District continues to see rapid growth in residential and commercial development, particularly in the urban centres of Rolleston, Lincoln, and Prebbleton. These communities are serviced by the Selwyn Sewerage Scheme (SSS), which comprises pumped conveyance to the Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for centralised treatment and disposal. The Pines WWTP is located south-west of Rolleston and operates as a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) plant, with treated effluent discharged to the surrounding land. The current plant is designed to treat in the order of 60,000 Population Equivalent (PE) flows and loads, a capacity limit that is fast approaching. To cater for this growth, the SSS and Pines WWTP are scheduled to undergo significant staged expansion over the next 10-year period, with the ultimate aim of increasing treatment and disposal capacity to 180,000 PE. As part of the planned expansion of the Pines WWTP, SWL has identified the replacement of the existing inlet works as an early and critical component of the overall upgrade programme, forming Stage 1 of the planned works. New inlet works are required to increase hydraulic and treatment capacity, and to provide a reliable and maintainable foundation for the broader plant expansion works that will follow. The works under this Contract are to be delivered under a Design and Build (D&B) delivery model, whereby the Contractor shall be responsible for the design, supply, construction, installation, and commissioning of the new inlet works and all associated works at the Pines WWTP. The Contract Works include, but are not limited to, the inlet works structure, site layout and grading, pipelines and services, foul water packaged pump station, roading and drainage, buildings and other civil structures, and electrical and controls systems, as further detailed in the relevant sections of this document. The inlet works structure is intended to receive and screen incoming wastewater flows, providing the primary treatment interface for the expanded plant capacity.

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.
