Notice of upcoming Request for Proposal

Southland District Council on behalf of the Milford Opportunities Project will be seeking Requests for Proposal (RFP) for a multi-disciplinary Master Plan Development Team.

That team can be from either a single entity or a collaboration of consultants, however, there must be one lead contractor who will be the contracting party and have overall responsibility for contract performance and delivery through their Programme Manager.
The purpose of this project is to develop a collaborative Master Plan for the Milford corridor and Milford Sound Piopiotahi sub-regional area to ensure:
that Milford Sound Piopiotahi maintains its status as a key New Zealand visitor ‘icon’ and provides a ‘world class’ visitor experience that is accessible, upholds the World Heritage status, national park and conservation values and adds value to Southland and New Zealand Inc.
The Milford Opportunities Project must be world class, ambitious and creative. It should not be constrained simply by what can be done now within the current rules, instead it must consider what needs to be done and what the most appropriate outcome will be. The project is about making a substantive change and creative ‘outside the box’ thinking is needed before it is filtered by practical operational realities.

See attached document for further details. This notice is to provide advance warning that the RFP will be advertised soon. Please do not contact the Council about this project until the full RFP has been notified.
