RFx ID: 35282044 Organisation: Ministry of Education - School Infrastructure Open date: Wednesday, 21 October 2026 3:00 PM +13:00 Close date: Wednesday, 18 November 2026 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services Region: Canterbury Overview: Elmwood Normal School is a State Contributing Normal school situated in beautiful grounds in the central city suburb of Merivale, Christchurch. It offers a six-year programme, catering for Years 0–6 children, from which the children then proceed to intermediate schools. CSR rebuild works have now been completed with new two-storey blocks being constructed. The old two blocks are now to be removed as they are surplus to requirements. School is still deciding on how to best utilise the cleared space but at this stage the expectation is for the site to be left hard compacted and safe. Should any further works be required this will be negotiated during construction

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
