The Queenstown Offline Public Transport Scoping Study will focus on an offline public transport network which is likely to form part of the long-term network response to the problems identified through the recent Queenstown Strategic Network Plan. The Study will build on the SNP to validate the future transport task, test when offline public transport may be required, assess whether viable technology pathways exist, and identify any significant governance, funding, ownership, delivery or implementation constraints. The Contract will look to achieve the following outcomes: • Confirm the problems that offline public transport would be able to address and the transport task it is expected to perform. • Understand sensitivities relating to demand, timing, system requirements and the future role of offline public transport. • Identify ownership, operating and governance requirements • Clarify the role of public agencies and private sector participants • Identify major risks, constraints, dependencies and potential fatal flaws • Determine the most appropriate future sponsorship and delivery pathway • Ensure future investment decisions are guided by network outcomes Electronic copies of the RFT documentation are attached to this advertisement.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this research, studies & evaluation 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.
