Peer Support Crisis Recovery Cafés

Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora)

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora invites proposals from suitably qualified providers to establish and deliver peer-led Crisis Recovery Café services across three districts: Auckland | Te Toka Tumai, Hamilton, and Lakes District.

The services are designed to offer a safe, welcoming, and recovery-oriented environment, providing an alternative pathway to Emergency Department presentations where appropriate.

Evaluation will be undertaken at a district level, and contracts may be awarded independently. Health NZ is seeking providers with demonstrated capability in delivering peer support services within the mental health and addiction sector. Providers must be able to establish services within required timeframes and work collaboratively with local stakeholders, including Hospital and Specialist Services, Emergency Departments, Police, and community providers.

The successful provider(s) will participate in co-design with Health NZ and stakeholders to finalise service delivery models and support ongoing service development, monitoring, and evaluation.

AI Ambient Scribes Open Panel

Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora)

Health NZ is seeking to establish an Open Panel of Suppliers for AI Ambient Scribe solutions that can be safely, responsibly, and flexibly adopted across our clinical environments. The panel will provide access to AI-enabled tools that support clinicians to generate accurate, structured clinical documentation from patient–clinician interactions, while maintaining appropriate clinician oversight and clinical safety controls. Rather than procuring a single mandated solution, this RFP is intended to create a pre-qualified panel of suppliers that meet defined clinical, technical, privacy, and assurance requirements. This will enable Health NZ services to select solutions that best meet their local needs over time, without the need for repeated, stand-alone procurement exercises. This RFP offers suppliers the opportunity to be part of a national, open panel that supports long-term adoption of AI ambient scribing across one of the largest public health systems in Aotearoa New Zealand. Successful Respondents will be pre-qualified under agreed terms and assurance settings, reducing barriers to future engagement and enabling faster, lower-friction adoption by HNZ services. For capable and clinically mature suppliers, this panel provides a pathway to demonstrate value, build trusted relationships with Health NZ, and contribute to the responsible use of AI in healthcare at scale — while retaining competitive tension, flexibility, and innovation over time.
