Kainga Ora Homes and Communities is a Crown agency that brings together the people, capabilities and resources of KiwiBuild, Housing New Zealand, and its development subsidiary HLC. This enables a more joined-up approach to supporting the New Zealand Government's priorities for housing and urban development in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Kainga Ora is charged with being a world class public housing landlord and leading integrated urban development. Kainga Ora will partner with developers, councils, Maori, government agencies, local communities, and others to enable, facilitate and deliver urban development projects of all sizes.

These projects will provide people with good quality, public, affordable and market homes that connect to the jobs, transport, open spaces and facilities needed for communities to thrive. Kainga Ora will also play an essential role in tackling the Government's priorities of ending homelessness and making homes in New Zealand more affordable.

What we are looking for
The General Reinstatement and Refurbishment Panel (Panel) has been in operation since 2018.
Kainga Ora Homes and Communities (Kainga Ora/The Principal/The Buyer) is looking at adding a limited number of suitably qualified, experienced and resourced contractors who can undertake General Reinstatement and Refurbishment Services in existing Kainga Ora residential properties. The new contractors will be added to an existing panel of pre-qualified suppliers providing General Reinstatement and Refurbishment services.

We define reinstatement and refurbishment works as those activities required in order to return an existing Kainga Ora dwelling to a lettable standard. The works cover a wide range (and scale) of building works, including but not limited to:

• minor works such as replacing plaster board as a result of a partial strip out to substantially rebuilding a property due to significant fire damage;
• minor works to the exterior of a building;
• replacement of internal linings (walls, ceiling and floor);
• minor works to the exterior of a building;
• new kitchens for a certain number of properties at specific locations.

In addition to this, reinstatement and refurbishment works may include:

• fire damage repairs;
• ad hoc minor refurbishments; and
• identification of a need to bring an existing property up to an appropriate standard (not covered by another Kainga Ora programme).
