RFx ID: 34839252 Organisation: Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora) Open date: Friday, 4 September 2026 4:00 PM +12:00 Close date: Friday, 2 October 2026 12:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 80110000 - Human resources services 85100000 - Comprehensive health services 85120000 - Medical practice 85171600 - Hospice care Region: Auckland Bay of Plenty Canterbury Chatham Islands Gisborne Hawke's Bay Manawatu-Wanganui Marlborough Nelson Northland Otago Southland Taranaki Tasman Waikato Wellington West Coast Overview: Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is seeking to establish a national panel of suppliers to provide contingent clinical workforce services across Medical Officers (Locums), Allied Health, and Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare Assistants. Health NZ relies on contingent workforce providers to support workforce shortages, maintain continuity of patient care and ensure clinical services can continue to operate effectively across New Zealand. The current arrangements are due to expire in February 2027 and Health NZ is undertaking an open competitive procurement process to establish a new national panel. The objective of this procurement is to create a more consistent, transparent and nationally coordinated approach to sourcing contingent clinical personnel. The future panel will support improved workforce access, stronger supplier accountability, enhanced credentialing and compliance requirements, better reporting and visibility of spend, and improved value for money. Respondents may submit proposals for one, two, or all three workforce categories. Health NZ is seeking suppliers with demonstrated experience in healthcare workforce recruitment and placement, including the ability to support both planned and urgent workforce requirements across metropolitan, regional and rural locations. Health NZ is seeking suppliers that can operate as long-term strategic partners and contribute to a nationally consistent workforce solution that supports quality, continuity of care and better outcomes for patients and communities.

Before you bid on this tender

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