Major weather event - Heavy rainfall for the wider Wellington region until tomorrow night.

Wellington Water crews are continuing to respond to a band of heavy rain causing surface flooding and network impacts across the Wellington and South Wairarapa regions today.

With bad weather expected for the wider Wellington region from this afternoon until tomorrow night, crews are proactively checking hotspots and vulnerable sites, and clearing out stormwater intakes as it is safe to do so.

Crews are working as quickly as they can, but we are asking residents to be patient with us as response times in some locations are impacted by road closures.

What we need

Wellington Water Limited is initiating a request for proposal (RFP) to implement several core technology systems under its Technology Systems Investment (TSI) Programme. The TSI programme addresses urgent system gaps resulting from deferred investments and evolving operational needs and supports the needs of the potential new water services entity planned under the Government’s “Local Water Done Well” policy. The systems (each known as a Tower) in scope of this RFP include:

  • Programme & Project Management (PPM)
  • Health & Safety System (H&S)
  • Asset Management Information System (AMIS)
  • Financial Management Information System (FMIS) and Supply Chain Management
  • Customer Relationship Management System (CRM)
  • Billing System (Billing)
  • Human Resources Information System (HRIS) 
  • Payroll

 

Participants can respond to one, some or all these Towers.  

The full scope of the TSI Programme also includes information management, this is being managed via a separate RFP.

The coloured boxes in the diagram below highlight the system areas of the RFP and correspond to the capability model areas.
