Te Papa SCA Replacement - Quantity Surveying

The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) preserves, protects, acquires, researches, and provides access to collections that are part of New Zealand’s artistic, cultural, and natural heritage. Te Papa also provides a leadership role in coordinating and providing assistance to other organisations with shared goals. Te Papa is an autonomous Crown entity.

Te Papa is re-locating its natural history wet collection from its existing Spirit Collection Area (SCA) facility on Tory Street, Wellington. The wet collection contains natural history specimens stored in alcohol solutions in jars, pails, and tanks. The SCA Relocation Project is a programme of works to acquire a new site and consent, design and construct a new purpose-built SCA facility for Te Papa. Te Papa has secured land at Upper Hutt.

Te Papa intends to engage a Consultant Team to support the Project. This Request for Proposal is for Quantity Surveying (QS)/Cost Management

Te Papa is looking for Providers who have the capability and experience to ensure on time, in budget completion of the SCA Relocation Project. Providers should have a strong track record in delivering projects of a similar size and nature. As the project involves relocation of hazardous substances, the provider must be able to manage project completion with health and safety in mind.

This is a unique opportunity to be a part of growing New Zealand’s national museum and assist in providing an innovative and high-tech facility to support the research outputs of the Natural History team. The existing SCA is regarded as world-class facility, and the successful Providers will play an important role in ensuring the successful relocation of the facility to its new site.
