This report presents an analysis of the responses to a questionnaire on how the Crown should tender for additional stocks. From this the key issues requiring government decision are identified.
The government has decided that the best way to obtain the additional stock required to meet New Zealand’s International Energy Agency (IEA) obligations is to run a tender process. As part of developing that tender process, the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) issued a questionnaire to interested parties.
This report analyses the responses to that questionnaire and then identifies the key issues requiring government decision. Different options are presented along with the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Further work required is then summarised which highlights the issues that need to be considered in the high-level design of a Request for Proposals (RFP).
