This tender is part of the voluntary buyout scheme announced by the Government for property affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. We need highly capable people to engage with individual Category 3 affected landowners to present, discuss, and resolve the voluntary buyout offers from Council. These offers will be based on individual valuations and in accordance with a Council adopted voluntary buyout policy. Following the presentation of the offer, further engagement and negotiation with the property owner(s) may be required until an agreed position is reached, and a legal conclusion is reached.

This tender seeks to secure the specific skills required for negotiation and legal resolution of the voluntary buyout program for Gisborne District Council. This may be a single supplier with the capacity to cover all aspects in-house, or suppliers may partner with each other to present a panel that covers the necessary requirements.
