This is an expression of interest (EOI) for professional services to develop 3x Investment Cases for the following projects:

• Hamilton Southern Link

• SH6 Hope Bypass

• Petone to Grenada

These projects form part of the Roads of National Significance (RoNS) initiative outlined in the Government Policy Statement (GPS) on Land Transport 2024. RoNS includes a total of 15 projects focused on building four-lane, grade-separated highways, and road corridors as quickly as possible. These projects aim to boost New Zealand’s economic growth and productivity by reducing congestion, enhancing safety, supporting housing development, and improving resilience.

As part of NZTA’s new way of working, NZTA has developed and is rolling out the Investment Case process. The Investment Case is to be delivered in an agile fashion, using a sprint delivery approach, and will include the following key requirements:

• Understand problems, opportunities, and constraints to achieving transport outcomes.

• Selection of a preferred option with a clearly defined delivery pathway.

• The preferred option is assessed for strategic fit, cost, risks, and benefits.

• High-level understanding on design parameter, constructability, consenting, and property is achieved.

For complete EOI information, please refer to the RoNS Investment Cases EOI attachment.
