RFx ID: 35273953 Organisation: Department of Conservation Open date: Tuesday, 20 October 2026 2:30 PM +13:00 Close date: Thursday, 19 November 2026 12:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 30000000 - Structures and Building and Construction and Manufacturing Components and Supplies 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services 83000000 - Public Utilities and Public Sector Related Services 95000000 - Land and Buildings and Structures and Thoroughfares Region: Bay of Plenty Overview: Huka Falls is one of the Department's most visited sites, attracting up to one million visitors annually. The current pathways, barriers, and signage are over 25 years old. They do not meet current standards and fail to provide an appropriate visitor experience, posing safety and reputation risks. This procurement is aimed at addressing visitor safety relating to the barriers. It will also improve their design to reduce maintenance costs and improve aesthetics. Approximately 360m of steel barriers require modification or replacement. An additional 60m section is required to protect visitors from an identified fall risk next to the car park.

Before you bid on this tender

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