RFx ID: 35054127 Organisation: Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora) Open date: Wednesday, 30 September 2026 10:30 AM +13:00 Close date: Wednesday, 28 October 2026 12:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 86000000 - Education and Training Services Region: New Zealand Overview: Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora invites proposals from suitably qualified providers or coordinated provider partnerships to design, develop, host, deliver and maintain a national Psychology Assistant Supervisor Training and Support Programme. The programme will prepare registered psychologists who have completed foundational supervision training to supervise Psychology Assistants safely and consistently. Initial supervisor access is required in May and June 2027, ahead of Psychology Assistants entering the workforce from July 2027. The required services include: • A short, online, on-demand Psychology Assistant-specific training module, with learner assessment and certification. • Learning platform setup and hosting, learner access and support, completion tracking, reporting and ongoing content maintenance. • A supervisor register recording training completion. • A National Psychology Assistant Supervisor Support Network, including online hui, peer connection, shared learning and feedback to inform programme improvements. The programme must address role boundaries, safe delegation, risk management, clinical governance and professional accountability. It must embed Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations, Māori expertise, culturally safe supervision and lived experience perspectives, and support equitable national access across Health New Zealand, NGO, primary care, rural, Kaupapa Māori and specialist settings. We welcome proposals combining psychology supervision expertise, Māori and cultural capability, adult learning design, digital learning and network facilitation. Respondents must meet the experience pre-condition specified in the RFP.

Before you bid on this tender

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