This procurement forms part of the Block 4 Replacement Project at Horeke School. The existing Block 4 multipurpose room was originally constructed as a storage garage and later converted for educational use. The building is not considered fit for purpose and does not meet current Ministry of Education design standards for teaching and learning environments. Due to the building's limitations, refurbishment is not considered a viable option and replacement of the building has been identified as the preferred solution.

The outcome sought is the engagement of a suitably qualified design consultant team to undertake all investigations, design development, consultant coordination and consent activities required to support the replacement of Block 4 with an OMB or Ministry of Education Repeatable Design building. The design phase will provide sufficient information to support future construction funding applications through the Ministry's B26 funding process.
• Project briefing and stakeholder engagement.
• Site investigations and consultant coordination.
• Concept and developed design.
• Engineering coordination.
• Fire alarm design.
• Building consent documentation.
• Cost planning support.
• Preparation of documentation required to support future Ministry construction funding applications.

This procurement relates to the design phase only. The successful consultant will be required to progressively deliver project milestones, including investigations, concept design, developed design, statutory approvals and documentation suitable for future funding applications and construction procurement.
Construction is not included within this procurement and will be subject to a separate funding approval and procurement process.
