The Ministry of Education’s School Property group is reshaping how we partner with the construction sector to deliver school property across New Zealand, and we want your input to help make sure that our approach is designed for success. We are looking at how we can move to a simpler, more coordinated model that delivers better outcomes for schools, gives suppliers greater certainty of work, and strengthens long-term partnerships across our portfolio. At present, our delivery model includes multiple panels and programmes, often structured around different project types or construction methods. While these have enabled delivery, they can also create complexity, fragmentation, and limit visibility of upcoming opportunities. We think there is a better way. To support this shift, we have developed a proposed Regional Supplier Programme (RSP). This new approach is designed to streamline how work is planned, allocated, and delivered across the full range of school property projects, from new schools to classroom additions and upgrades. The RSP is intended to create a more connected, predictable, and performance-driven system that benefits both schools and suppliers. What could be different? • A more streamlined supplier environment, with fewer panels and clearer pathways • Regionally-based pipelines, providing greater visibility of upcoming work • A stronger link between performance and future opportunities • A consistent commercial and delivery model across project types and construction methodologies • Improved certainty to support investment in people, capability, and innovation This is a significant opportunity to shape how school property is delivered into the future. Strong supplier partnerships are going to be critical to its success and your input now will be critical to it’s design. Help us test the model We are seeking supplier feedback to understand whether the proposed RSP will work in practice and deliver the benefits we are aiming for. Join the conversation We will be hosting two supplier webinars: • 16 June 2026 at 1:00pm https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/45516650603429?p=SFsTgcZV4BZQYJ3VYK • 18 June 2026 at 1:00pm https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/4539721669475?p=jPmf8GYflb8yGvrybZ Provide written feedback You are also invited to provide written feedback via the link, by 11:59pm Friday 26 June: https://education.surveymonkey.com/r/MOERSPSurvey Contact: Alex Nairn Email: Alex.Nairn@education.govt.nz
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
