A request for proposals on the government’s GETS website, expiring on May 19, says the service will "address the current service gap" in the region.
In a statement, HNZ Te Waipounamu community integration group manager Aroha Metcalf said the service was expected to begin in the "second half of 2025".
Ms Metcalf said she could not say more until the contract was awarded, but confirmed the new service had emerged from the "Te Hurihanga — Time for Change" review.
