RFx ID: 35504552 Organisation: Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children Open date: Friday, 13 November 2026 1:30 PM +13:00 Close date: Monday, 7 December 2026 1:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services Region: New Zealand Overview: KOROWAI KITCHEN RE-RELEASE On the 11th of August 2026, we posted a tender for the renovation of an existing building at an Auckland Youth Justice Residence to be repurposed into a kitchen. Subsequently the tender was suspended, while we awaited additional detailed information, to better support respondents in the submission of a pricing response. We wish to advise all interested parties that the full suite of tender documentation including the additional information required is now reposted on GETS. Please note the new RFP timeframes applicable and the opportunity for a site visit 19 November 2026 which requires the completion and return of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) please action and send to procurement@ot.govt.nz and you will be provided the details necessary to attend. If you are a returning respondent and wish to attend site again- please reach out to us via procurement@ot.govt.nz with the subject Korowai Kitchen NDA and your company name and we will advise if we need anything further. THE OPPORTUNITY Oranga Tamariki seeks a supplier to repurpose, renovate and extend an existing garage to create a commercial kitchen at the Korowai Manaaki Youth Justice residence in Auckland. An existing garage is to be repurposed as a commercial kitchen. Currently meals are prepared, packaged and delivered from outside the site and can result in meals arriving late and cold. We anticipate the new kitchen being up and running by 30 June 2027. We engaged an architect to provide architectural drawings, building consent and consultants drawings. Southern Hospitality will be supplying the equipment and will work with the successful Respondent, if any, to ensure the design and build are set up for the successful installation of the equipment in the agreed positions within the kitchen.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure 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.
