Forms of tender may be procured at any post-office.

The attention of tenderers is directed to the terms and conditions of contract printed at the back of the tender forms.

A tenderer may tender for a service to commence from either terminal.

The attention of tenderers is expressly directed to clause 5 of the terms and conditions of contracts, which gives the Postmaster-General the right to fix the hours of departure and arrival. If a tenderer is not prepared to observe the existing time-table he is required to attach to his tender a copy of the time-table proposed.

The successful tenderer will be required to show that he is in a position to satisfactorily carry out the service.

No tender will be considered unless made on the printed form.

The lowest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted.

Wherever possible, Government officers travelling on official business, are required to travel by mail contractors’ vehicles, provided that the time-table is suitable and that the fare charged by the contractor does not exceed that charged by the proprietor of an opposition vehicle.

A contractor, when receiving or delivering mails at railway-stations, is to deal with the guards of trains, and, if required, mails are to be placed in the railway-vans.

Tenders are to be enclosed in sealed envelopes, endorsed “Tenders for Mail-service,” and are to be addressed to the Chief Postmaster of the postal district to which the tender may specially refer.

G. McNAMARA,
Secretary.

By Authority: W. A. G. SKINNER, Government Printer, Wellington.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
