Overview

This Advance Notice aims to inform the construction market about Health New Zealand’s (Health NZ’s) intention to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified contractor to deliver the new Sir Mark Dunajtschik Mental Health Centre (SMDMHC) on the Hutt Hospital campus. This project has been made possible by a generous donation from philanthropists Sir Mark Dunajtschik and his partner Dorothy Spotswood, allowing Health NZ to advance the design of the SMDMHC. The facility will provide a safe and therapeutic environment for patients and their families, featuring 34 inpatient beds and administrative spaces across a total area of 3,900 m², as well as an additional 800 m² of internal courtyards on a site that Pilmuir House and Kowhai House previously occupied. The project aims for a 5-star Green Star Design & As Built v1.0 rating, with an indicative construction budget of $55 million. Acceptance of any tender proposal will be contingent upon the approval of an Implementation Business Case to address emerging cost pressures in Health NZ’s infrastructure pipeline, and we are looking for a motivated partner to assist us to mitigate these cost pressures.

Due to a variety of circumstances, Health NZ was unable to reach an agreement with the Preferred Contractor engaged through an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Agreement. Health NZ will now conduct a single-stage RFP with pre-qualification criteria that focus on the contractor’s experience with projects of this scale and their ability to operate in environments similar to this setting.
