We are a predominately urban authority with the bulk of the City area on reticulated water supply, with approximately 22,100 water meters. Water Meter Reading Services (for mechanical meters) are required to enable Council to invoice for water consumption across both Residential and Commercial users within the City boundaries. What we need Council is seeking a trusted and collaborative service provider to support the delivery of its water meter reading programme. The successful supplier will have the resources, expertise, and local presence required to provide accurate meter readings, responsive customer service, and reliable support across residential, commercial, property sale, and subdivision-related work. The supplier will demonstrate a commitment to safety, quality, and continuous communication with Council while ensuring all services are delivered efficiently, accurately, and within agreed timeframes.

Before you bid on this tender

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