Answer

I am advised that under the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) prequalification framework, an organisation may apply for prequalification through the mutual recognition process. This process is set out in NZTA’s Prequalification for physical works: Supplier information pack which can be found on its website here: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/about-us/information-for-suppliers/contractor-prequalification
