Storage of onshore reserve diesel stocks

MBIE seeks detailed and firm Proposals for the long-term lease to the Crown of diesel tank storage capacity.
MBIE wants a single rolled-up, all-inclusive monthly lease payment (including for capital expenditure, product stewardship, maintaining the tank in a fit for purpose and compliant condition and rental) over the term of the contract, no ownership interest in the tank and best public value.
Proposals are invited for tank storage capacity of up to 70 million litres (gross capacity) of diesel in aggregate, with a minimum offered volume per tank of 5 million litres.

This RFP provides an opportunity to contribute towards improving New Zealand's resilience to potential disruptions to supplies of diesel by developing diesel storage facilities. Reliable and resilient fuel supplies and transport systems are essential enablers for a productive, sustainable and inclusive economy.
