Regional Biosecurity Team Motorcycle Fleet Procurement and Maintenance Services

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RfP) is to find a supplier or suppliers with the experience to provide a solution for the supply of 4 stroke motorbikes and to provide long-term service and maintenance support for our Regional Bio Security Team. Our main outcome is to achieve solutions to our two biggest issues for our current fleet in operation. 1.

Finding a suitable �fit for purpose� motorbike that is suitable for use by our officers of varying weight, height, and abilities. 2. Provide regular servicing for the new and current units to keep the fleet at maximum performance with a regular service plan and assisting us with a preventative maintenance program. 3. Provide regular safety/Vehicle fitness checks 6 monthly.

Environment Canterbury�s strategy is to implement a 10-year lifespan replacement cycle of �fit for purpose� 4 stroke motorbikes. This will include replacement of the bulk of our 18 units in the fleet within the next 3-5 years. This RfP (Request for Proposal) will reflect this strategy in 3+1+1 = 5-year procurement plan (3 year with 2 x 1-year extensions).

Included in this will be the ongoing service and maintenance of the total fleet, new and current, in a formalised service and maintenance agreement. Applicants will need to keep in mind the regional aspects of this RfP as how they can provide this servicing support to our locations, Kaikoura x 1, Cheviot x 1, Amberley x 6, Christchurch Central City x 4, Timaru x 6.

In order to assess the suitability of the proposed units on offer we will undertake Field Trials with units that we believe will suit our requirements. We would also want to undertake a technical discussion with a qualified person within your organisation that can give us an overview on how proposed units can be altered to fit individual riders.
