New Zealand Police (Police) gives advance notice of its intention to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a replacement Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) – technology platform and associated implementation and support costs. ABIS is a core operational capability for Police. It supports an authoritative identity function across Police workgroups, including investigative, evidential, and identification functions. It plays a critical role in supporting defensible court outcomes for victims, enabling the accurate identification of deceased persons, and maintaining community safety and confidence through trusted biometric decision-making. Police released a Request for Information (RFI) in 2024 to understand market capability and inform procurement planning. Police will shortly be seeking proposals for a replacement ABIS – one extensible platform to replace the two systems that currently enable Police’s biometric identification capability (fingerprints and facial images). The detailed scope, requirements, evaluation approach, procurement process, timetable and proposed contract terms will be set out in the RFP. Police is seeking a modern, secure and scalable solution that: enhances investigative capability, ensures compliance with legislative requirements maintains and strengthens partnerships with external entities maintains and strengthens public and staff trust in biometric services supports evolving operational needs Note: This advance notice is not an RFP, RFI, invitation to submit a proposal, or commitment to award a contract. No information from suppliers is requested nor required from this advance notice. Suppliers who are interested in being part of the proposed RFP should ensure that they are registered to receive GETS notifications for the applicable RFx Categories and are subscribed to this notice. The RFP is intended to be released during June/July 2026. Contact: tenders.national@police.govt.nz
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
