This opportunity may lead to continuation to Construction services. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MFAT is looking to engage through an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) for the Niue Justice Building project. The ECI is expected to be appointed in early 2027 and will be expected to work collaboratively with MFAT, Government of Niue and the consulting team/s. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MFAT is working in partnership with the Government of Niue to design and construct a new Justice Building to enable effective, reliable and inclusive justice services. The new Justice Building will incorporate courtrooms, judicial chambers, office space for staff of Department of Justice, Lands, Survey, a court registry and archival space. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MFAT anticipates entering into an ECI pre-construction services contract with the selected supplier. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Continuation of ECI to delivery of Construction services via NZS3910:2023 will be subject to a number of criteria, including funding approvals, supplier performance, successful achievement of ECI deliverables and progress through pre-agreed milestones, including achieving mutually agreeable contract terms and pricing reviews.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The procurement will be conducted via open market, in a two stage tender process including a Registration of Interest (ROI) phase to create a shortlist who will then be invited to submit a response to a closed Request for Proposal (RFP). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please note that this Advance Notice is not a tender process - it is simply a notification to the supply market that a procurement opportunity is forthcoming. Aside from subscribing to the Future Procurement Opportunity (FPO), you do not have to do anything. Any tender information sent to us will not be considered at this stage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We intend to release the Registration of Interest (ROI) in Q3 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you are interested in this opportunity, please subscribe to this GETs notice, as the ROI and details of the provider briefing session will be linked here once available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, by emailing commercial@mfat.govt.nz&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

SBE can be understood as marine activities that generate economic value and positively contribute to ecological, cultural and social well-being.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Through emerging areas of ‘blue finance’, there is increasing recognition of the need for innovative finance solutions that leverage Official Development Assistance (ODA) to enable sustainable development. We are considering scaling up our existing support in this area and are looking to work with partners who can deliver finance solutions and technical assistance to support the growth of coastal-focused sustainable enterprises in Pacific Island countries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are seeking further information from the sector that can inform our approach to finance in the Pacific. Our early design work has been informed by commissioned desktop research and our broader ODA programme. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;We are interested to receive responses from suppliers that have investment expertise and competence in the following areas: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thematic and geographic areas of investment: our approach focuses on investment in coastal fisheries, aquaculture, marine restoration, eco-tourism, and coastal waste management in the Pacific. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Scale of investment: we want to focus on right-sized investments to scale up small enterprises and consider investments in the range NZ$100,000 - $2,000,000 will likely be suitable. Approaches that would involve financing partnerships on a larger scale would also be considered if the linkage to supporting SMEs and community-level enterprises can be demonstrated. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Technical assistance: in addition to investment, we consider provision of technical assistance or business development support as critical to successfully scale up small enterprises, build capacity, and transfer knowledge. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pacific experience: familiarity with Pacific Island countries and their economies is important. We are interested in respondents who have demonstrated experience working in the Pacific region or in comparable small island developing states (SIDS), and with experience working at the community and small enterprise level.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>
