RFx ID: 34928399 Organisation: Otago Regional Council Open date: Monday, 14 September 2026 9:00 AM +12:00 Close date: Friday, 9 October 2026 4:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 70150000 - Forestry 70161600 - Flora 77000000 - Environmental Services 83000000 - Public Utilities and Public Sector Related Services 93000000 - Politics and Civic Affairs Services Region: Otago Overview: The Otago Regional Council (ORC) is responsible for the delivery of land drainage and flood protection services throughout the Otago region. We require suitably skilled and experienced contractors to undertake riparian tree maintenance and topping of tree assets in the Lower Clutha and Lower Taieri Flood Protection and Drainage Schemes. Their root systems stabilise drain and riverbank soils, and ongoing maintenance preserves tree structures and prevents overhanging and uprooting which helps avoid waterway blockages, damming, and washouts—ultimately enhancing flood resilience and reducing long-term maintenance needs. This work will be delivered across two (2) contract packages covering Flood Protection and Drainage Schemes in Lower Clutha and Lower Taieri.

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.
