Panel of Suppliers for Ecosystem Weed Control

⁠⁠⁠Overview

Wellington City Council is running a Procurement in a Day (PIAD) process, involving presentations from suitably qualified suppliers, to establish a Supplier Panel for ecological weed management services in its parks and reserves.

For both the short and longer term, the Council seeks to establish and build strong relationships with committed suppliers that have the experience and capabilities to consistently deliver solutions on time, provide value for money and quality, and provide reliable productivity.

Purpose

The control of pest plant species and the Council's requirements for weed control is governed by Wellington City Council's Our Natural Capital, Wellington's Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, and subsequent documents.

Weed control is carried out to protect, enhance and restore existing ecosystems and habitats. Weeds targeted for control are based on ecological threat, control feasibility and community need.

The scope includes:

• Delivery of ecological weed control services in Wellington City's parks and reserves
• Targeting of weeds based on ecological threat, control feasibility and community need
