Government is implementing the Essential Freshwater work programme to restore and protect the health of waterways. The Ministry has received funds to build enduring capability and capacity to implement the freshwater reforms and improve system capability and performance for future generations. One of the approved workstreams within this is to enable tangata whenua, catchment groups, farmers/growers, and councils access timely, practical, and affordable expert advice to plan and implement Essential Freshwater actions (the subject of this procurement).
The Ministry wants to engage with an organisation who acts as a broker between users (farmers and growers, iwi and hapū, communities and NGOs, all regions) and experts to expedite the Essential Freshwater reforms by June 2025. The organisation will work in an agile way with MfE and stakeholders to design and deliver timely and practical services between 2022 and 2025.
