Te Kura o Ōmanaia is seeking a suitably experienced Main Contractor to deliver a bundled programme of refurbishment, lifecycle replacement and site improvement works at the School.

The Contract Works combine several workstreams into a single construction package to achieve efficient delivery, coordinated site management and value for money. The works generally comprise:

Block 11: Removal and replacement of deteriorated timber decking, landing and steps, including inspection and remediation of underlying supporting structures where required.

The successful Main Contractor will be responsible for overall site establishment, programming, supervision, health and safety, management of subcontractors and nominated specialists, protection of existing facilities, quality assurance, commissioning and handover.

The School is expected to remain operational during portions of the works. Tenderers must demonstrate suitable experience and capability in delivering refurbishment works within operational school or similarly occupied environments.

The preferred construction commencement is 18 December 2026, with works programmed to maximise the summer school holiday period and minimise disruption to teaching and learning.
