Details

RFx ID: 35210358 Organisation: Ministry of Education - School Infrastructure Open date: Monday, 19 October 2026 9:00 AM +13:00 Close date: Monday, 16 November 2026 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services Region: Northland Overview: The school is situated on the side of a hill and suffers from substantial water run-off through the carparks to the school and playcentre. CCTV investigations found the existing underground stormwater system and outlet from the school is too small and it regularly gets inundated. The gravel carpark to the playcentre has no existing drainage and it is continually being eroded by the water coming off the road reserve and school carpark above. The playcentre requires drainage and a concrete surface to prevent this from happening. The additional water capture will add more capacity to what an undersized stormwater network is already. Therefore, this must be upgraded at the same time as the playcentre carpark works.

Before you bid on this tender

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