CON00003150-2025 - Giraffe Barn Construction

This REOI relates to the construction of Giraffe Barn, Yard and Service Road Renewals. The key outcomes that we want to achieve are:
- An upgraded area for Giraffes which betters their welfare & environment.
- A functional giraffe management building
- Reducing health and safety risks for animals and staff

What matters most is teaming up with a contractor who treats this as more than a routine project—where animal welfare and staff safety sit at the heart of every decision and every nearby visitor becomes part of the equation.
You’ll bring inventive health-and-safety solutions that control noise, dust and access in a publicly visible setting, while rigorously adhering to our zoo’s biosecurity and site-access requirements. We’re open to companies of all backgrounds, but your REOI should demonstrate a thoughtful approach and highlight past successes on similarly complex builds or situations.
In short, we want a partner equally committed to safeguarding animals, people and the public experience, and inspired by the challenge of delivering a truly exceptional facility.
