Details

RFx ID: 35081537 Organisation: Ministry for Primary Industries Open date: Friday, 2 October 2026 4:00 PM +13:00 Close date: Thursday, 5 November 2026 1:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 81000000 - Engineering and Research and Technology Based Services Region: New Zealand Overview: The invasive freshwater clam or Corbicula (Corbicula fluminea) was first detected in the Waikato River in 2023. This clam is considered one of the most significant freshwater biosecurity threats in New Zealand. Recreational and commercial equipment can act as vectors, facilitating the spread of Corbicula to uninvaded areas. A key challenge for Corbicula management is the lack of quantitative, New Zealand-specific evidence on the relative risks posed by many different vectors. Building on existing international and domestic research, this project will quantify and compare the transport potential associated with representative vectors operating in New Zealand. The findings will inform the development of a national vector-risk framework and support development of standard operating protocols (SOPs) and operational guidance for the high-risk vectors, enabling more targeted and effective Corbicula management and control in New Zealand.

Before you bid on this tender

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