The purpose of this RFP is to run a Procurement in a Day (PIAD) which will involve presentations from suitably qualified suppliers to establish a Supplier Panel for ecological weed management services in our parks and reserves.

For both the short and longer term, the Council seeks to establish and build strong relationships with committed suppliers that have the experience and capabilities to consistently deliver the solutions on time, value for money, quality and provide reliable productivity.

The control of pest plant species and Council’s requirements for weed control is governed by Wellington City Council’s – Our Natural Capital Wellington’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, and subsequent documents.

Weed control is carried out to protect, enhance and restore existing ecosystems and habitats. Weeds targeted for control are based on ecological threat, control feasibility and community need.
