Overview

Many transport operators have been significantly impacted by COVID-19. To mitigate the financial impacts on essential transport services, resulting from COVID-19, Government has established the Essential Transport Connectivity (ETC) Scheme, which is designed to provide sector-specific support to maintain essential transport connectivity for the COVID-19 response and recovery.
This RFP would offer ETC funding to the successful bus operator(s) to schedule services from March to June 2022 and give passengers the confidence that the bus services they book during this period will not be cancelled at short notice due to lack of demand. The Government support offered between March and June 2022 is to allow the successful operator(s) time to develop their confidence and adapt their services while New Zealand transitions to the “new normal” – with the goal for the services to be viable on its own over the longer term.
We are seeking operators to provide inter-regional bus/shuttle service to transport patrons to and from the main centres identified below on a scheduled basis from 1 March to 30 June 2022:
• Queenstown – Christchurch (return)
• Fox Glacier –Greymouth (return)
• Nelson – Greymouth (return)
• Franz Josef – Queenstown (return)
