RFx ID: 34942704 Organisation: Ministry for Primary Industries Open date: Tuesday, 15 September 2026 2:30 PM +12:00 Close date: Tuesday, 20 October 2026 1:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 81000000 - Engineering and Research and Technology Based Services Region: New Zealand Overview: This project aims to fill key knowledge gaps about the physiology, growth, and viability of the rhizomes of Manchurian wild rice (Zizania latifolia, MWR) in New Zealand (NZ) in order to increase efficacy of treatment and shorten the timeframe required to eliminate infestations of this harmful weed. This will involve the collection of rhizome material from sites in NZ, growth, examination, and manipulation of the material in a laboratory, and testing biosecure disposal methods. From this, we are looking to understand what it is that makes MWR rhizomes so tolerant to herbicide treatment, what factors determine how well herbicides translocate to the rhizomes, how long we have to monitor sites for regrowth and how we can safely dispose of excavated rhizome material.

Before you bid on this tender

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