Contractors working for Tauranga City Council carry out most of the delivery of services to the Tauranga community.
Most of this work is tendered out. Tendering involves seeking competitive bids from suitably qualified people or organisations who wish to carry out the work. Tenders are generally advertised at LGTenders. This is an e-tendering service run by Tenderlink.com which enables contractors to find out about forthcoming work opportunities. They can also sign up for email alerts. It means tenderers do not need to come into town with their chequebook, find a park and wait in a queue. Contractors have seized the opportunity to download documents electronically.
Tenders that Tauranga City Council receives are usually assessed on a number of factors. These include the track record of the organisation, their experience, their technical skills, proposed methodology and price to do the work. By tendering TCC seeks best value.
Once tenders for a particular job or contract have been evaluated the various tenderers are advised whether they have been successful or not and the result of this is reported to Council’s Monitoring committee if they are over $500,000.
