As a result of Budget 2026, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is delivering new housing at two sites - Woodbourne (near Blenheim) and Burnham (near Christchurch). We are looking for established Main Contractors (with design team) who can manage the full design and delivery of high-quality turnkey homes for servicemembers and their families. Homes will be standalone and single-level, constructed largely on vacant land previously used for housing, with requirement for associated on-lot and minor off-lot civils. All works will be under an NZS3916 Design and Build Contract with NZDF Special Conditions.

The indicative spread of new housing per site is as follows, though if pricing allows us to deliver more within our funding envelope we will do so:
Woodbourne - 8 homes at RNZAF Base Woodbourne, awarded to one supplier under one contract.
Christchurch - 17 homes at Burnham Military Camp, awarded to one supplier under one contract.

This is a two-stage market approach. This first Registration of Interest (ROI) stage is focussed on the experience and capability of the supplier, and does not require any site-specific solution to be put forward. Those who are shortlisted from this stage will participate in a second stage Request for Proposals, which will require detailed site-specific solutions to be submitted.

The ROI includes our requirements and specifications for housing. Those shortlisted to the RFT stage will receive substantial site investigation and planning information to form priced responses. All delivery solutions will be considered so long as they adhere to the Functional Specification, including off-site manufactured housing.

Suppliers may bid for one or both sites, however there are a series of preconditions that MUST be met in order for your submission to be considered and evaluated - take careful note of these in the ROI documentation.
