The University of Waikato will be facilitating face to face discussions using a Competitive Dialogue Process to investigate options for the design, financing, installation, and long-term operation of a ~2MW solar photovoltaic (PV) carpark array under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Energy Services Agreement (ESA) or other off balance sheet financing option.
This project supports our sustainability goals and energy resilience strategy while offering a long-term partnership opportunity.
This is a rare opportunity to partner with a leading New Zealand university on a high-profile renewable energy project. You’ll be contributing to decarbonisation in the tertiary sector and gain visibility across government, industry, and academia.
The project is backed by senior leadership and is a cornerstone of our energy and sustainability strategy.
Please refer to MBIE's guidance on the ITP / Competitive Dialogue process - we are not looking for a full solution in the first step of this Multi-Step procurement process.

Update on Competitive Dialogue Process – Solar PV Carpark Array Project
The University of Waikato has completed the Competitive Dialogue phase for the proposed ~2MW solar photovoltaic (PV) carpark array at our Hamilton campus.
Responses to the Invitation to Participate (ITP) were assessed, and shortlisted respondents progressed to the Dialogue stage. Respondents who were not shortlisted for Dialogue have been notified directly via email.
We are now moving to a closed Request for Proposal (RFP) process, which commences 05/09/2025 12pm. This next phase is by invitation only and includes a select group of respondents identified through the Dialogue process.
