RFx ID: 34721783 Organisation: Horizons Regional Council Open date: Monday, 17 August 2026 3:00 PM +12:00 Close date: Monday, 21 September 2026 4:30 PM +12:00 Categories: 78110000 - Passenger transport Region: Manawatu-Wanganui Wellington Overview: Horizons seek to engage a suitably qualified operator to deliver public transport services for the region of Horowhenua. The focus on these services is the regional connection between communities, rather than an urban service. The bus services will commence on 7 December 2026 and operate for 3 years, with options to extend. This is an exciting opportunity to provide essential regional connections to communities within the Horowhenua region. Public transport is becoming more important as we respond to the challenges of growth, climate change and the current cost of living. The administrator of this tender is Shelley Foale on behalf of Horizons Regional Council.

Before you bid on this tender

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

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
  • 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.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
