Details

RFx ID: 35419689 Organisation: Wellington City Council Open date: Wednesday, 4 November 2026 1:30 PM +13:00 Close date: Monday, 30 November 2026 4:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services 95000000 - Land and Buildings and Structures and Thoroughfares Region: Wellington Overview: The Seatoun Tunnel, constructed in 1906–1907 by the former Miramar Borough Council, is a historically significant structure connecting the Wellington suburbs of Seatoun and Strathmore. It served as a key link for Wellington’s tram system and remains the main access point for Seatoun. Measuring approximately 144 meters in length and 8.2 meters in width, the tunnel now requires maintenance work. This includes cleaning and repainting the internal surfaces (walls and ceiling), the handrail and railing, the fencing above the Seatoun portal and the retaining wall at the Miramar end. Additionally, the footpath requires cleaning as well. As such, we are now requiring a qualified supplier to carry out painting and related maintenance works on the Tunnel.

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.
