RFx ID: 32148401 Organisation: Environmental Protection Authority Open date: Monday, 28 July 2025 3:30 PM +12:00 Close date: Monday, 25 August 2025 5:00 PM +12:00 Categories: 43230000 - Software 81111700 - Management information systems MIS 81112200 - Software maintenance and support 83000000 - Public Utilities and Public Sector Related Services Region: Wellington Overview: This procurement seeks to engage a qualified supplier to deliver several subcomponents of a solution that will address the EPA’s requirements to support the Gene Technology (Gene Tech) regulation as outlined below. The selected supplier will be responsible for the full delivery lifecycle of the new Gene Tech Solution (GTS) including detailed solution design, development, testing, implementation, and ongoing support. To support the establishment and operation of the Gene Technology Regulator, the EPA needs to procure a technology solution called the Gene Technology Solution (GTS). Through the addition of further forms, workflows, functions and data the EPA expects to use the GTS to support future modernisation of other regulatory regimes that they have responsibility over. The scope of this procurement exercise includes the following components of the GTS: • A Licensing and Compliance Portal (LCP) - where Regulated Parties go to apply for approvals and to inform the Gene Technology Regulator (GTR) about notifiable activities, and to manage payments related to Gene Technology services. • An Application Processing System (APS) - for the GTR to conduct the approval, assessment and management of information under the Bill. This will replace the approval functions provided by the current Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with respect to modified organisms only. The CRM will continue to be used for approval of unmodified organisms. • Changes to the Enterprise Data Platform and BI System to help stakeholders source information related to Gene Technology regulation. • Changes to the existing CME Case Management System (CMS) - to support the storage of compliance records from the Ministry of Primary Industries. • Reusable integrations using modern patterns and approaches to support the automation of data flows and business processes between both components of the GTS and external systems as defined in the architecture.
