Answer

The Northland Corridor Stage 1, Warkworth to Te Hana Public Private Partnership project has a budgeted bid stipend of $80m to reimburse up to 80% of costs for the two unsuccessful bidders (capped at $40m per bidder). Work to finalise the reimbursement for the two unsuccessful bidders is ongoing.
