The Bioeconomy Science Institute brings together AgResearch, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Plant & Food Research and Scion into a single organisation. The Bioeconomy Science Institute is a Crown Research Institute, owned by the New Zealand Government and governed by an independent Board of Directors.

What we need
BSI Scion Group seeks to appoint a main construction contractor to refurbish an existing 1970s laboratory to meet PC2 laboratory specifications, accommodating both new and existing laboratory equipment. The contractor will be responsible for all construction activities associated with the build and must be able to mobilize in Rotorua by early May. The project must comply with current building codes and standards and be delivered to a high-quality finish. The contractor must demonstrate strong collaboration skills, experience managing works on a live site, and proven ability to deliver within agreed timeframes. A successful outcome will be the provision to BSI Scion Group the infrastructure to expand its research capabilities. We invite registrations of interest from contractors who can deliver this outcome.

What we don’t want
We do not want responses from contractors that are unable to meet the Program's Timeframe, budget, or unable to meet the Preconditions and Evaluation Criteria. All respondents are expected to demonstrate considerable construction experience, and an excellent track record of health and safety.

What’s important to us?
BSI Scion Group are seeking suppliers who meet compliance requirements and align with our values and deliver outcomes that create lasting benefits. It's essential for us to engage a supplier who can meet or exceed the completion date within the allocated budget as well as hit critical milestones for the delivery and relocation of laboratory equipment. We require a supplier who will work collaboratively with BSI Scion Group and its consultants to ensure smooth delivery of the project and minimal disruption to the organizations ongoing operations on the site.
