Tendering - sourcing goods, services and works

We use Tenderlink, an e-tendering portal that speeds up the tendering cycle and reduces the time and costs for us and our suppliers.

To use the e-tender portal and access our public tenders you must first register. Registration is free.

As a registered supplier, you can receive email notifications of any new tenders we publish. When you identify a project you want to tender for, read the information carefully. The tender documents will provide all the information you need about the contract and how to respond. If you have questions about a particular project, or just need something clarified, you can do this through the tender listing.

Make sure you understand the timetable of the tender and submit your bid before the closing date and time - don’t be late!

What happens next?

Once the tender closes we will:

• Evaluate the responses using the method described in the tender documents, which may include presentations or site visits if required
• Award a contract and inform the successful and unsuccessful participants of the outcome
• Manage the contract, measuring performance against the agreed contract terms throughout the life of the project.

If you register as a supplier on the Napier City Council e-tendering portal it is important you keep your organisation’s details, including email addresses, current. Incorrect details such as email addresses could mean you may miss out on potential tender opportunities.

Our procurement section has all you need to know about NCC’s contract opportunities and things to consider before you work with us.

Purchase Orders - Terms & Conditions

If you're providing us with goods or services, then you'll need a valid purchase order or contract. This page provides details of our T&Cs, including a link to our Purchase Order - Terms and Conditions of Supply.

Invoicing and payments

If you're a supplier to NCC, then this might very well be the most important page on our website! This page tells you exactly what we need in our invoices. Our standard payments are on the 20th of the month following the month we get your invoice - so get them in quickly.

Health and safety

Health and safety is very important to us at NCC. Depending on the work you're doing for us, you may need to go through a pre-qualification process. It's pretty standard - but it's also important.
