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.

This approach entitles the appointment of a Lead Consultant and that party will have an established consortium model that is anticipated to consist of several corporations that have entered an arrangement or association with the Lead Consultant in order to pursue the PHEC project tender.

MPI encourage the use of ‘best for project team’ methodology in the selection of the consortium membership, and as such discourage individualised response exclusivity. MPI are more than comfortable in receiving the same design discipline sub-consultants on multiple bids, to ensure the best team for the project is selected.

MPI is open to receiving proposals for the provision of the Lead Consultant services from consultancy entities that is either architecturally or engineering led practises or other viable entity option (e.g. project management).

To that end MPI invites an RFP response from Suppliers to be engaged as MPI’s Lead Consultant to design this flagship in New Zealand’s bio-security defensive armada that will protect our flora and horticultural industries against unwanted pests and organisms.
