Te Paewhiri Mātanga - Expert Panel

The DCC’s long term engineering and specialist support (LTES) panel, contract number 7860, expires on 30 June 2026 and has no further renewal options. This is a request for proposals from experienced consultants/specialists that are interested in forming a panel to support the DCC in delivering its commitments in the long-term Plan (LTP). This new panel will be called - Te Paewhiri Mātanga (The Expert Panel) and will be for an initial term of 5 years. What’s most important DCC requires specialist support across all technical DCC groups to deliver its obligations with sufficient capacity to ensure the timely delivery of projects. We are aiming to: • Rationalise supplier numbers. • Improved scoping accuracy. • Enhance the operating model. • Ensure better reporting, visibility and accountability. • Achieve best possible value for money. • Maintain competitive tension. What we don’t want We do not want suppliers on Te Paewhiri Mātanga that: • Are not aligned to the DCC’s LTP commitments. • Do not benefit from participation.
