Background
Legal advisory services are required to support procurement and associated activities for the establishment of a new independent infrastructure body. Suppliers have been selected from the All of Government External Legal Services Panel. Suppliers are required to complete the attached Legal Services Order form.
A new independent infrastructure body, the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, Te Waihanga (‘the Commission), is being established to ensure that New Zealand gets the quality infrastructure investment needed to improve our long-term economic performance and social wellbeing. The new commission will be an autonomous crown entity (ACE). ‘New Zealand Infrastructure Commission/Te Waihanga Bill’ (the Bill), has been read to Parliament and is expected to become a legal entity in October 2019. The purpose of the Commission is to provide independent and expert advice about New Zealand’s current and future infrastructure needs and priorities to support improved social, economic and environmental outcomes for the nation.
A project team has been established at the Treasury tasked with identifying and implementing the practical activities required to establish the Commission, as well as understanding the shape and form of the new entity and how it will operate. The objective is to ‘lift and shift’ the Commission into fully independent premises by December 2019.
A list of currently identified practical activities and associated procurement processes has been created. This list is continuously being updated and additional activities may arise at short notice. Some of these activities have long lead times and all activities are time critical. Some activities have been initiated and are being initiated under the Treasury until such time as the Commission becomes a legal entity. Novation of all contracts will be required when this occurs.
It is important that Legal advice is provided in a timely manner so that the correct contractual arrangements can be put in place without hindering due process. A triage approach to the activities for contract form is required.
This tender has been awarded.
