Background

Ensuring schools have quality Ten Year Property Plans (10YPP) that optimise the school’s property spend and makes the best of the school’s facilities is a key priority for the Ministry.
With that priority in mind, the Ministry piloted moving to a direct contractual relationship between the consultants and the Ministry with a small number of consultants.
The findings of the pilot were positive and supported the move away from the current operating model to a future state where 10YPP consultants and the associated planning costs are managed directly by the Ministry.
A transition year process was undertaken to ensure processes and procedures are adequate for a national programme launch this year for schools in the 2020/21 5-Year Agreement cycle.


Outcomes Sought

Transitioning the contractual relationship of 10YPP consultants to the Ministry will mean the following benefits:
a. The Ministry will be able to streamline the 10YPP planning process to improve the quality of plans developed for our schools and reduce financial and administrative requirements for schools. This will enable them to concentrate on teaching and learning.
b. Better quality plans that are delivered on time will also allow schools to manage their assets more effectively
c. Increased opportunities for suppliers who continue to perform well
d. Better support of Consultants by the Ministry on what a good plan looks like.

In addition to transitioning the contractual relationship to the Ministry, we also intend to align budget and planning years to ensure schools get the most out of their 5YA and can access their budget as soon as possible.
