Whangarei District’s Civic Centre is scheduled to open in 2022 and will be a central hub for democratic processes, customer services, administrative functions and Council staff. The design focus is on providing a welcoming, inclusive and easily accessible customer experience in a building that strongly reflects our cultural identity and heritage. Our vision is to create a fit-for-purpose building with sustainable design and construction, delivering a more efficient service for our District.

The Civic Centre will be home to Elected Members and the majority of Council staff who are currently based at Forum North and Walton Plaza. It is expected that the number of staff and elected members based there will initially be around 400, with capacity to grow to 470 in the future.
TEAM Architects have undertaken a comprehensive design to the Council brief which includes developing a technical specification of the furniture and fittings required to complete the building fitout.

Background Background for this project and procurement process includes:
 All products will need to be supplied to Whangarei ready to install no later than July 2022
 Council is open to favourable offers of early supply for improved security of supply and/or price certainty
 We have a plan for how the spaces will be used, but need to decide who will provide the furniture so we can finalise arrangements
 Different functions across Council have different needs
 Much of our existing furniture is not suited to what we need in the new building
 This process will not choose furniture or layout – it will choose the supplier/s that will form a panel.
 A secondary procurement process will be used to select which supplier/s from the resulting panel provide which products.
Categories
The offering will be split into tranches to give suppliers the opportunity to bid for one or both categories, making it more attractive to suppliers that may not be able to provide everything required.

Secondary procurement process
This procurement process will select Supplier/s to form a panel. A secondary closed procurement process will be used to select suppliers from this panel for provision of the required goods.
The outcome for this procurement will be a panel arrangement of three or four suppliers for each category with a maximum of eight across the categories
