Overview

Biosecurity New Zealand (BNZ) Tiakitanga Pūtaiao Aotearoa, a business unit within MPI, leads the country’s biosecurity system and spearheads MPI’s work to protect New Zealand from new and emerging exotic pests and diseases that pose a risk to our economy, environment, human health, and social and cultural wellbeing, including taonga species, such as our irreplaceable native plants.
Bio-security New Zealand has a Plant Health and Environment Capability Programme underway (PHEC) that is to strengthen our bio-security system. To service the increase in diagnostic activity, PHEC requires sufficient replacement laboratory and greenhouse space to handle the increased test volumes and PEQ material and enable processing of bio-security response samples in a reasonable timeframe, as well as respond to increasing demand into the future. In addition, the increased activity requires larger facilities to conduct future surveillance and incursion investigation activities and additional office space and other amenities for an increase in staffing numbers.
MPI has identified that having a specialist laboratory designer imputing early into the project design process does de-risk that project design delivery in that by having that unique technical capability, capacity, experience and personnel expertise within the project brief will allow the PHEC project to be defined in a manner that allows the facility to be designed, delivered and able to achieve the biosecurity standards quicker. Hence the specialist laboratory designer will:
a. be engaged by MPI directly for inputting into the Laboratory and Containment sections for the Project Brief development process;
b. following MPI’s approval of the Project Brief, the laboratory specialist’s contract will be novated to the Lead Consultant’s contract;
c. their design services will become part of the entire design consortia, that is being led by the Lead Consultant.

Hence MPI is inviting qualified specialist laboratory designers to respond to this RFP.
