Resource consent and other applications are processed by Council's regulatory arm, the Resource Consents Department in Auckland Council's Service Centres at Orewa, Takapuna, Henderson, Graham St and Manukau. Around 12,000 applications were processed in the last financial year. The Department engages consultants to assist with the processing of applications, or to provide specialist services in relation to applications (including compliance and monitoring work) on behalf of the Department. Through this Request for Proposal (RFP), the Auckland Council invites proposals from suitable organisations in order to establish a new Supplier Panel for the provision of professional services related to processing resource consent and other applications. Potential suppliers of processing services for Resource Consent applications are requested to submit their proposals by providing the information requested in the Response Template and the Resource spreadsheet, both issued with this RFP. Successful suppliers will be engaged on a framework contract and work will be allocated through a Scope of Engagement. There is no guarantee of minimum hours or fees for any supplier appointed to the Supplier Panel. Full details of the scope of services required, the process to be followed and the contract term have been set out in the attached Request for Proposal. A draft contract will be issued separately, as a Notice to Participants, by Monday 21 May 2018, for review and response. This is stage one of a two stage open competitive process. Participants shortlisted through this process will need to complete a second stage through Council's ARIBA platform. Participants (not already registered in ARIBA, and approved as suppliers for Auckland Council) are requested to register their organisation by following the process provided in the document named: "ARIBA Supplier Guide-Registration", provided with this RFP.
