Wellington City Council

Supplier Panel – Design, Supply and Installation of Play Spaces for Wellington City

The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals from suitably qualified suppliers to establish a Supplier Panel for the Design, Supply and Installation of Play Areas for Wellington City Council (Council) throughout Wellington City.

For both the short and longer term, the Council seeks to establish and build strong relationships with committed suppliers that have the experience and capabilities to consistently deliver the solutions on time, achieve value for money, quality and provide reliable productivity.

The proposed Umbrella Agreement is uploaded to GETS with this RFP document. The Agreement is anticipated to commence in August 2022. The duration of the Panel will be for three years from commencement with the potential for two extensions of three years up to a maximum of 9 years (3+3+3). The Proposed Umbrella Agreement will not be based on a value of works or guaranteed volume of projects or firm timings, although this agreement will be the basis of a panel.

The Councils intent is to engage the Panel of Suppliers by collaborating and building committed relationships for the future.

The Council has an extensive programme of play area refurbishments planned over the next nine years with an estimated value of $13m. The Council will consider allocating work strategically to the Panel based on the supplier’s expertise, performance, commitment and value for money, based on an open book cost plus margin methodology.
