Wellington Bus and Rail Signage PT1078 Contract & KPIs

Miss M Quicken made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

Currently waiting for a response from Wellington Regional Council, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Miss M Quicken

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

This was 10yr exclusive single-provider contract worth $8.4 M of maintenance services.

I am wondering from procurement research perspective,

Why GWRC is not using a panel of suppliers for sign writing instead of using a single exclusive provider and for such a long time?

Please provide:

A) The RFP that resulted into the contract

B) The contract

C) The associated procurement plan

I wonder what does the council actually get for the $8.4M here.

Does this buy dedicated human resources exclusively working to install & maintain the signs?

In that case why did the GWRC chose to outsource this instead of employ directly given such long period contract where this could be seen as core function of the council?

And single commercial provider for all of it?

Yours faithfully,

Miss M Quicken
