RFx ID: 34885339 Organisation: Timaru District Council Open date: Tuesday, 8 September 2026 12:00 PM +12:00 Close date: Tuesday, 6 October 2026 12:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 83101500 - Water and sewer utilities Region: Canterbury Overview: TDC is seeking a qualified and experienced Three Waters contractor who is ready to try their hand at something a bit different – not just construction, but design too. Raw water for treatment at the Temuka Water Treatment Plant is sourced from six bores - three located on the treatment plant site and three located approximately 400-500 metres away near the intersection of Orari Station and Coach Roads. Of the off-site bores, only one is currently in service, and raw water is conveyed to the treatment plant via a single 150mm diameter pipeline. The two other off-site bores are new. Additional raw water conveyance capacity is required to enable supply from the two new off-site bores and to meet increasing demand. There is also a requirement to introduce redundancy into this part of the system. To achieve this, TDC requires the construction of a second raw water pipeline. We want to trial giving you the parameters, and you provide us with the full package – design through construction, testing and completion of the installed pipeline.

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.
