No Winner The Government intends to improve freshwater farm plans so that they are more cost-effective and practical for farmers and is exploring how to make any changes fair for all farmers. This may include looking at whether current requirements to complete a freshwater farm plan could be paused while improvements are developed.
As a result of the improvement process, the Ministry has determined that the services and outputs which it planned to procure as part of this procurement process are no longer required, would not represent public value in the context of current policy direction, and may be inconsistent with current Government policy and objectives.
The Ministry is therefore cancelling the procurement process and will not award any contract/s for services as anticipated. This notification follows careful consideration of the impact of the exceptional circumstances arising from the formation of a new Government after the Ministry commenced the procurement process.
