Overview

MFAT would like to inform the market of an upcoming opportunity for a project consultant to provide technical advice and services for the planning and development of a new property for the Pacific Regional Centre for Disability Inclusion in Suva, Fiji. We anticipate the RFP will be published in early September, and close in early October. Please note that this is an advance notice only - questions are welcome but you are not expected to submit a response at this stage.

Background:

The Pacific Regional Centre for Disability Inclusion requires a specialist service provider to help scope their new accommodation to meet their operational requirements for the current and foreseeable future, and provide conceptual plans to enable them to determine budget, schedule and options for a preferred accommodation outcome that may include purpose built owned property or leased modified property.

The preferred consultant will be engaged and paid by MFAT, with key interface being direct to the PRCDI.
