RFx ID: 35361083 Organisation: Western Bay of Plenty District Council Open date: Friday, 30 October 2026 12:00 AM +13:00 Close date: Friday, 4 December 2026 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 83101500 - Water and sewer utilities Region: Bay of Plenty Overview: Western Bay of Plenty District Council (WBOPDC) is seeking an experienced Electrical and Automation Contractor to undertake a design-build upgrade of the Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation systems at the Ohourere Water Treatment Plant. The project supports an increase in plant treatment capacity from 20 L/s to 50 L/s and includes design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a new 250A main switchboard, PLC and communications panels, migration to a Rockwell CompactLogix control platform, replacement of the Depolox dosing control system, renewal of cable management infrastructure, and installation of associated power quality, UPS, surge protection and communications equipment. The successful supplier will be responsible for delivering a compliant, future-ready solution in accordance with WBOPDC standards while maintaining continuity of operations at this critical water supply facility. Proven experience in water treatment, industrial automation and brownfield infrastructure upgrades is essential. The works will be delivered under a single Electrical & Automation contract with strict constraints on plant and communications downtime. Western Bay does not wish to consider works outside the Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation upgrade scope. This includes civil, structural, or Stage 2 works such as additional treated water storage and replacement of the booster pumps. Suppliers are not required to undertake plant improvements except where necessary to support the proposed electrical and automation solution. Please see attached for further details and raise any questions via GETS.

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.
