This project forms part of Council’s ongoing programme to improve flood protection infrastructure and community resilience within Whakatāne. The contract involves the demolition and replacement of existing flood protection assets, construction of new reinforced concrete floodwalls, earthworks, drainage and utility works, service relocations, pavement and footpath reinstatement, traffic management, environmental management, and all associated temporary works. Contractors must demonstrate relevant experience in complex civil infrastructure projects, flood protection works, environmental compliance, stakeholder management, and construction within constrained urban environments. Council is seeking a contractor that can safely and efficiently deliver the works while maintaining flood protection throughout construction and minimising disruption to local businesses, residents, road users, and utility providers. Tenderers are expected to provide robust construction methodologies, strong health and safety practices, and a commitment to achieving positive social, environmental and economic outcomes, including local workforce development, sustainability initiatives, and Māori business participation. The successful contractor will work collaboratively with Council and project stakeholders to deliver a high-quality flood resilience outcome for the Whakatāne community.

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.
