The Ministry has embarked on a four-year programme to improve the internal environments of state schools and state integrated schools that are small or remote. The work programme was set up following completion of the Small and Isolated Schools Pilot. It supports Te Rautaki Rawa Kura – the School Property Strategy 2030, and Te Haratau, and the goal to deliver on the Government’s target of all schools providing quality learning environments by 2030. To be able to achieve this the Ministry requires Freight and Logistics Services.At the highest level the Ministry considers there are four components to the services being sought. They are:
• Pick-up separate bulk product order from the four manufacturers or importers distribution hub. (We have used the phrase ‘bulk order’ to describe the large orders placed, and received, to ensure continuity of supply and reflect the suppliers lead times. These orders will cover multiple clusters of schools.)
• Compile and store bulk orders into the F&L suppliers main distribution centres(s). We have assumed that the F&L supplier will operate only a few main distribution centres. Tracking and reporting on the product inventories in these main centres will be required
• Compiling and shipping to storage at a local distribution centres sufficient volume of product inventory to support the scheduled improvements at a defined number of ‘local’ schools, referred to as a cluster. Improvements will be underway in at least three clusters at a time, one in each region. A cluster may be up to 30 schools. Tracking and reporting on the product inventories in these local distribution centres will be required.
• Compiling and shipping school specific product orders to each individual school in the cluster and unloading the order into the designated storage area. The makeup of the product order will be unique for each school. Tracking of these school orders is required, they must be delivered on-time with the PM being notified that the deliveries has been made
While the Ministry has made some assumption about how this will happen, the RFP questions do not tell the F&L supplier how to do it. The Ministry wants respondents to demonstrate and explain the benefits and efficiency of the process they propose and to focus on the outcomes that are required.
