New Zealand·Buyer: Waikato Regional Council

Bus Contract Renewal for Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10

Closed·27 Mar 2026

Waikato Regional Council is seeking serious and credible public transport operators to deliver the new bus contracts. This RFP covers Unit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. The contracts are to run for a period of 9 years with an option to extend by 2 years. Contracts for Units 1 & 2, start on1 July 2028 and Contracts for Units for Units 3, 4, 5 and 10 start on 1 November 2027. We are looking to achieve our goal of full decarbonisation of the bus fleet by 2035. We are adopting a market‑led approach to the timing and staging of ZEB transition. No pre‑determined split of diesel versus electric fleet is being imposed at the start of contracts, providing flexibility for you to optimise fleet investment but the expectation is that we achieve a fully ZEB fleet by 2035. There is a briefing for interested respondents via MS Teams on Wednesday 15 April 2026 and 1pm. To register for our respondent briefing session, contact our Point of Contact via GETS with the name and contact details of each attendee and a Teams link will be sent to you. Please note: Attachment 7 will be issued during the response period.
