Details

RFx ID: 34538513 Organisation: Parliamentary Counsel Office Open date: Wednesday, 22 July 2026 5:00 PM +12:00 Close date: Thursday, 22 July 2027 5:00 PM +12:00 Categories: 80101600 - Project management 80122000 - Legal review and inquiry services Region: New Zealand Overview: This is a standing invitation for applications from individuals who are interested in becoming Suppliers. This legislation services panel replaces an existing legal services panel that was established in 2016 and expired in 2022. The purpose of the previous panel was to provide additional legislative drafting and related support services to assist the Parliamentary Counsel Office (PCO) in managing peak workflows. The key objective of this procurement is to establish a new panel under an open syndicated contract (and the PCO reserve the right to add suppliers during the life of the contract) to support the PCO and other agencies needing legislative drafting and related support services. The panel will also help build capability in drafting secondary legislation not drafted by the PCO as participating agencies will be able to use suppliers to assist them in drafting and developing secondary legislation. This panel will also increase access for suppliers to Government legal, policy and legislative design work. The panel will be called upon to undertake the work as and when necessary. Suppliers of the panel may select 1 or more areas for which they are interested in providing those services. The legislation services panel sits alongside the AoG External Legal Services panel and is led by the Parliamentary Counsel Office (the PCO). The key difference is the legislation services panel will have named individuals who provide specialised legislative drafting, design and related services to the PCO and participating agencies. The named suppliers will not necessarily be on the AoG contract. The panel supports PCO’s wider objective under the Legislation Act 2019 of promoting high-quality legislation that is easy to find, use, and understand and, to that end, to exercise stewardship of New Zealand's legislation as a whole. Certain areas of legal work, not related to legislation services are not within scope of this panel, including litigation, mediation and arbitration work.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services 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.

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