5574 & 6395 - Additional Waitemata Harbour Connections & Auckland Light Rail - Registration of Interest - Professional Services

This is a Professional Services contract for the provision of Urban, Engineering and Planning (UEP) Alliance Professional Services for the Auckland Light Rail & Additional Waitematā Harbour Connections projects.

Waka Kotahi, Auckland Light Rail Group and our partners invite Registrations of Interest (ROI) from suitably experienced Applicants interested in being short-listed as prospective Proponents for:
• the Indicative Business Case (IBC) phase for the Additional Waitematā Harbour Connections (AWHC) project; and
• the pre-construction planning phase for the Auckland Light Rail (ALR), project.

Each project is integral to the development of the wider Auckland Rapid Transit Network, with multiple inter-dependencies and opportunities exist for the sharing of lessons and experience. Each project is seeking similar skills and requirements from the professional services market over a similar timeframe for delivery of their urban, engineering and planning services packages. As such, the AWHC and ALR projects are progressing with a coordinated procurement approach for the urban, engineering and planning professional services packages required for the above project phases.

This ROI is the first stage in a two-stage procurement process. From the ROI submissions, three Proponents for each project will be shortlisted and invited to submit a proposal for Alliance services (second stage). More detailed and specific attribute information will be requested in the second stage and will be required to be submitted with proposals for the purpose of proposal evaluation.

Applicants may choose to return ROI submissions for one or both projects, and subject to the evaluation process, successful Applicants could be shortlisted for the second stage for both projects. No one Proponent will be allowed to win both projects or be a Non-Owner Participant (NOP) on both projects.

Electronic copies of the ROI documentation are attached to this advertisement.
