Details

RFx ID: 35108027 Organisation: Hawke's Bay Regional Council Open date: Tuesday, 6 October 2026 1:00 PM +13:00 Close date: Tuesday, 20 October 2026 3:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 43191500 - Personal communication devices 43222800 - Telephony equipment 43222900 - Telephony equipment accessories 43223200 - Mobile messaging platforms 46182500 - Personal safety devices or weapons Region: Hawke's Bay Overview: A number of HBRC staff routinely work alone in remote and isolated parts of the region, often beyond cellular coverage and sometimes outside normal hours. HBRC needs a practical system that allows a worker to raise an alarm through normal mobile coverage and retain an independent distress option when mobile coverage is unavailable. Our proposed control uses two complementary tools: • Mobile device software for routine lone-worker sessions, timed check-ins, duress alerts, location sharing and two-way communication while cellular, satellite, or Wi-Fi coverage is available. • A registered personal locator beacon (PLB) carried by workers who may be outside reliable mobile coverage. A PLB is an independent emergency distress device that alerts the national search and rescue system when activated. HBRC is seeking a simple, easy to carry, easy to activate, reliable software solution and personal location beacon for use in the Hawke’s Bay region and supported by clear response procedures.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this space-satellite 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.
