RFx ID: 34877097 Organisation: Ruapehu District Council Open date: Friday, 11 September 2026 9:00 AM +12:00 Close date: Friday, 16 October 2026 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 81110000 - Computer services 81160000 - Information Technology Service Delivery Region: New Zealand Overview: This RFP relates to the purchase of comprehensive IT services as set out in the attached Proposed Contract. The key outcomes that we want to achieve are: • Reliable BAU IT Managed services and service desk delivery where customer requests are resolved effectively and in a timely manner. • Proactive monitoring using latest solutions to ensure RDC’s cyber security risk and compliance requirements are effectively managed and systems are operating efficiently. • Proactive resolution of identified issues with appropriate approval from RDC. • Strategic advice and guidance provided to the IS Governance Group (ISGG) with input into the IT Roadmap. • Project Management and other resource support to implement actions outlined in the IT Roadmap. The Proposed Contract term is shorter than typical long-term IT managed services contract terms. This reflects the current uncertainty associated with potential local government amalgamations that are being discussed and canvassed. RDC considers that a shorter initial term, with extension options, provides appropriate flexibility while still supporting continuity of service, transition planning and value-for-money outcomes.

Before you bid on this tender

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