The Department of Conservation (DOC) intends to request tenders for the supply and delivery of a jetboat to support operations on the Whanganui River within Whanganui National Park. DOC requires a proven, production-series 5.7m aluminium jetboat and engine, capable of carrying up to 8 passengers, and suited to operating in a remote and demanding river environment. The vessel must be supplied with a trailer and meet all relevant Maritime New Zealand design, construction, and safety standards. The scope includes design (if applicable), manufacture, fit-out, certification, and delivery of the fully operational vessel to Whanganui, if production is outside of the Whanganui region. An open Request for Tender (RFT) will be released . Suppliers will be required to demonstrate technical capability, relevant experience, ability to deliver within the required timeframe, and compliance with specified requirements. Submissions will be evaluated using a two-envelope price and weighted criteria approach. The successful supplier will deliver the completed vessel, including all required documentation and certifications, by August 2027 or earlier where possible. DOC is not taking questions at this time. Future Procurement Opportunities are to advise the market of potential upcoming opportunities which may or may not be progressed. If the project is progressed, you will be notified.

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.
