Boiler House Energy Centre Electrical Upgrade Project (Substation 3)

We have a project to upgrade the Boiler House Energy Centre at Palmerston North Hospital. We are planning to issue a procurement notice for the construction works for the Electrical Upgrade Project in the near future. We are seeking to gauge market interest and understand contractor availability and capability before progressing to the formal procurement phase. We anticipate engaging a Main Contractor to construct and commission the electrical infrastructure upgrade works within the Boiler House Energy Centre. The works are likely to include: • upgrading the existing power network cable between Substations • replacing the Main Switchboard in the Boiler House Energy Centre • providing Generator Synchronising Board and associated cabling and controls • upgrading electrical distribution and control changes to specified campus blocks • upgrading SCADA and controls to accommodate consequential changes resulting for the works • providing 10 additional fire cells to segregate critical infrastructure systems • upgrading the Boiler House Energy Centre and the installation of 11kV in ground cabling • integrating commissioning of standby power systems and low voltage systems • supplying 'As-Built' documentation We would appreciate it if Main Contractors interested in undertaking the construction works, could respond via email and provide the following information: * Confirmation of your interest and availability to undertake the works over the next six months * A brief overview (list) of your relevant experience on similar electrical upgrade projects This request is for market sounding purposes only and does not constitute a tender or commitment by us to proceed with the procurement. If you are a Main Contractor and interested in this project, please reply to teenu.sarkany@tewhatuora.govt.nz by 7 August 2026, with the above information.
