The Communications Unit / Te Rōpū Tuku Kōrero manages NEMA’s public education programme and digital channels, leads public information management during a national response, champions and enables accessible emergency information, and provides communications support and advice to internal and external stakeholders.

NEMA requires merchandise to promote emergency preparedness information and life safety actions (e.g. Long or Strong, Get Gone), as well as raise awareness of Civil Defence and NEMA to enable people to better be ready for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. Merchandising will be a useful tool for getting people interested in emergencies and learning what they can do to prepare.

We are looking for suppliers who can provide branded merchandise that can be practical and useful in an emergency and is effective at helping promote our messages. We are also interested in products and their packaging that is environmentally friendly. We expect suppliers to have ethical business practices. This is a unique opportunity to be part of emergency preparedness in New Zealand. Successful suppliers will be able to contribute to emergency management and preparedness to ensure that more people are able to get ready for, respond to, and recover from emergencies.

Suppliers interested in this opportunity must submit a proposal using the Response Form by the close date (12:00 18th of July). Product samples must be received before the close date. Send samples to:
