(Advanced Notice) External Print, Communications and Third Party Logistics Services

Stats NZ intends to lead a collaborative procurement for external print, communications and third party logistics services on behalf of a group of New Zealand public sector agencies. The opportunity responds to the expiry of the existing Ministry of Social Development syndicated arrangement in March 2027 and is intended to reduce duplicated procurement effort for agencies and suppliers while preserving each agency’s ability to select its own supplier or suppliers, execute its own contract and manage its own operational relationship. The planned approach is an open, two-stage competitive RFP. Respondents will submit one response to a common requirement set and, where relevant, respond to agency-specific schedules. Suppliers will not be required to offer every service category. Consortium, lead supplier and disclosed subcontracting models may be proposed.
