The NCC Depot have a project to upgrade the Animal Shelter to meet business needs and improve the challenging working environment and experience for dogs, staff, and visitors.

NCC needs to establish an animal control facility for Napier that is fit for purpose and has an opportunity to address ongoing increasing maintenance costs forecast for the existing facility. Health and safety of staff, the welfare of animals and public perception should be considerations weighed against costs.

This procurement is for a design project to upgrade the NCC Animal Shelter at 2 Depot Place, Onekawa, Napier, to provide pre-construction design and documentation support prior to physical works.

NCC will have the option of reviewing the project scope at the designated hold points (Concept, QS30 budgeting, etc). Options of scope change if needed include but not limited to the following:

• the redesign of the existing facility.

• new facility on a new site to be determined.
