The objective of this procurement is to develop Phase 1 of the Tāmaki Property Strategy for MIT and Unitec, focusing on the future direction of vocational education delivered across Tāmaki. The Tāmaki Property Strategy will ensure that MIT and Unitec’s campuses are positioned to meet the needs of future students, faculty, and staff while supporting the academic and operational goals of both institutions.

We require an assessment of our existing market intelligence with respect to market presence, criticality of location and the nature of our operations in these locations. Collecting future oriented insights into the nature of academic delivery in 15 years+ to ensure a pathway of fixed assets is well considered for the changing dynamics of vocational education. Assessing the existing reports on infrastructure, determining fit for purpose aspects and importantly making recommendations as to the continuation of service delivery in existing geographical location, whether they are owned outright, in partnership or variable.

While the government is still in the process of finalising the structure going forward, MIT and Unitec have been encouraged as one of the focuses of supporting planning for financial viability, to assess Auckland’s property footprint for rationalisation and efficiency.
