I get the Governments Tender Requests as part of my job. This one caught my eye:

I am not in a position to do this, but I suspect that there would be the ones among us on here that could see this as something they could get involved in. There will also be a complete Tender Document outlining all you need to know that will become available soon.


My recommendation, if you are keen to investigate this further for you and/or your organisation/company, is to in first instance contact Lindsay Johnson and inform that you are in a position to provide the service, but you would like more information. If you are not registered with the Government Tender Servise, then you might have to do so. But I suspect Lindsay could help you to do so.

(I would expect AA, VTNZ and others similar are contenders, as this would be a good sustainable income stream.)

Good Luck!

I thought ACC did. Doesn't he run most of their rider training days around here?

[Swoop]

California Superbike School already has the programme. Make it nationwide and compulsory.

*ding*, next problem!

[Paul in NZ]

Yeah but he will still need to reply to this and they probably won't send it directly (who knows)

God help us if those motorcycle hating suck arses at the AA decide to run it....

I read it as not being a one supplier model If the AA or some other cage focused group get near it

Perhaps, but we are talking about the Government (ACC) and the process they follow. CSS has to apply to be considered for this, in same way everyone would have to do. And as the full Tender Document is yet to be released I do not have the information regarding what the expectations are. Perhaps there is a expectation that every town would have this? Perhaps there is a expectation that the bikes are provided, perhaps there is a expectation that... and so on. Just because someone looks like the obvious choice on the outside does not mean that they are the best choice. Perhaps the decision will be to go with the best provider in each town meaning that there would be a multitude of providers? It will also come down to costs...

[Bassmatt]

It will all come down to costs...

fify.

Will make a mockery of the whole thing.

Well it saves MOTONZ wasting our $30 special levy if ACC are going to do their work for them. Oooops forgot they are AA fans as well

[Paul in NZ]

I sent it to Andrews website but seriously this is a worry..... SURELY to goodness this is something MOTONZ should be driving or providing a list of trainers for???

That is a confusing relationship anyhow. Perhaps it is one of MOTONZ recommendations to ACC

[Gremlin]

Have to hold a class 6 Instructor endorsement. Most likely all the existing companies (Riderskills, Roadcraft School of Motoring, Qkchk's in Auckland to name a few) will be what ACC is looking for, and would make the most sense.

[Conquiztador]

fify.

Please do not change what I wrote and then "quote" it.

Red bling provided as reward.

Or they could simply allow us to get more practice in........perhaps free track time?

You can't teach riding, you can only learn it, people learn by doing not hearing.
