Enterprise PDF capability and Licensing Services
Tender Overview
About this tender
Overview New Zealand Police is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) on enterprise PDF capability, licensing and operating models.

Purpose Police is reviewing its enterprise PDF capability, licensing and operating model ahead of the renewal of its current Adobe Enterprise Term Licence Agreement in July 2027.
