Local Government Act 1974

Terms of Reference for the Local Government
Commission Relating to the Draft Request for
Proposal and Preferred Tender for the
Provision of Regional Council Functions
for the Chatham Islands Council

Proposal

The Local Government Commission (“the Commission”) is
required to consider, report on, and make recommendations
in respect of matters relating to the Chatham Islands Council
(“the Council”) obtaining tenders for the delivery of its
regional council functions.

Background

The Council has had significant financial difficulties for
some time. The main reasons for the Council’s financial
position are: the wide range of functions the Council is
required to undertake, the very small population base, and
geographic isolation, which imposes significant additional
costs for both the Council and its community.

The Government has agreed, in principle, to provide the
Council with financial assistance, sufficient for the Council
to meet the operating costs of all of its statutory
responsibilities. The Council will be required to contract
with a mainland local authority for the delivery of its
regional council functions.

Process for Obtaining Tenders for Regional Council
Functions

The process for the Council obtaining tenders for the
delivery of its regional council functions shall be as follows:

1. The Council will prepare a request for proposal to
   obtain tenders for the provision of regional council
   services on the Council’s behalf, and will then
   forward the draft request for proposal to the Minister
   of Local Government and the Commission;

2. The Commission will consider and report to the
   Minister of Local Government on the draft request for
   proposal to ensure that it would be in the interests of
   good local government;

3. Once the Minister of Local Government has notified
   the Council that he is satisfied with the draft request
   for proposal, the Council will seek tenders from the
   relevant local authorities;

4. Once tenders are received, the Council will decide
   which is the preferred tender and will then forward
   the tender to the Commission;

5. The Commission will report to the Minister of Local
   Government on whether the Council’s decision on the
   preferred tender will be cost effective and will be in
   the interests of good local government;

6. The entering into of any contract between the Council
   and the preferred tenderer will be subject to the
   concurrence of the Minister of Local Government.
