Greater Wellington Regional Council

Te Hunga Whaikaha Total Mobility (THWTM) Assessment Services RFP

Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC, we) has a legislative requirement under the Land Transport Management Act 2003 to consider the needs of transport for disadvantaged people. Consistent with this requirement, GWRC administers Te Hunga Whaikaha Total Mobility (THWTM) for residents of the greater Wellington region.

This procurement aims to identify suitably qualified supplier(s) to carry out customer eligibility assessments for Te Hunga Whaikaha Total Mobility. GWRC seeks to engage one supplier per geographic region, to provide safe and appropriate assessment services that meet the geographical, time-critical service needs of 16,000+ THWTM customers across the greater Wellington region. Geographic segmentation respects community diversity, variances in customer needs and gives smaller suppliers the chance to bid and support their local community.

Region 01: Porirua to Kapiti including Otaki
Region 02: The Hutt Valley
Region 03: The Wairarapa
Region 04: Wellington

Of utmost importance to us is safe, accessible, reliable and dignified transport to improve the lives of customers. Our aim is to attract proposals from organisations who:
• provide disability or health related support, information or services to Māori, Pasifika, rainbow, migrant or other vulnerable/disadvantaged communities, and
• provide disability or health related support, information or services to disabled people.
We also hope to attract proposals from people with lived experience of a disability, who could provide the service either as an employee or contractor or who could respond to the RFP as a supplier themselves.

Are you an organisation who cares about helping people, being an active community contributor and share our enthusiasm? If so, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to provide assessment services to potential THWTM customers across the greater Wellington region. Join us in providing accessible and safe transport options across our region.
