3991-23/24 Aerially applied 1080 baits for wallaby control

What we need – We require all the services required to complete aerial wallaby 1080 pellet control operations, some of this includes public consultation & notification, Medical Officer of Health applications for permits/permissions, Department of Conservation AEE permits, supply of bait and aerial helicopter services (using only approved operators from the ECan Heli Panel – see list below) and labour. And for contractor to abide by all required regulations or permit conditions.
Environment Canterbury will consult with local Rūnuka.
What’s important to us – We require professional contractors who have previously completed large scale aerial control 1080 operations and who have an excellent Health and Safety record.
Why should you bid? – We are after a panel of suitably qualified contractors to help us deliver the aerial 1080 component of the Tipu Mātoro National Wallaby Management Programme.
A bit about us – Environment Canterbury is the fund holder (for Canterbury’s programme) of the Tipu Mātoro National Wallaby Eradication Programme, which is a joint partnership between Biosecurity NZ, Department of Conservation, Land Information New Zealand, Federated Farmers, Regional Councils and Rūnuka.
Note: we currently have a supplier panel contract that expires on 30 June 2024. This ROI is for another panel for a period of 5 years.
