The construction of new drinking water bores is required at numerous Ministry of Education (MoE) Schools North of Auckland. These new bores vary in size and specification between sites, all bores must meet the Taumata Arowai Specifications for bores and the Ministry of Educations own Specifications that have been created for this project.
The outcome sought from this ROI is to gain a main contractor to complete all elements of the construction of required bores. We aim to source a contractor that can continue to be engaged in further works as the programme expands and additional bores are required.
The Ministry of Education is responsible for ensuring school property, including drinking water infrastructure, is safe, reliable, and compliant.
Recent regulatory changes under the Water Services Act 2021 have increased the need to assess and address drinking water compliance across the school portfolio. This has led to a growing but uncertain pipeline of bore-related works, driven by condition assessments, compliance requirements, and emerging risks.

This tender has been awarded.
