RFx ID: 32639950 Organisation: Gisborne District Council Open date: Tuesday, 30 September 2025 9:00 AM +13:00 Close date: Wednesday, 15 October 2025 5:00 PM +13:00 Categories: 81000000 - Engineering and Research and Technology Based Services 95000000 - Land and Buildings and Structures and Thoroughfares Region: Gisborne Overview: Gisborne District Council (Council) is seeking to transform our City Centre as part of the City Centre Revitalisation Programme. The aim of this Registration of Interest (ROI) is to identify a shortlist of suitably qualified and experienced Suppliers to invite to respond to a Request for Proposal to deliver a City Centre Action and Investment Plan (AIP). The AIP is a critical step, building off high level strategic documents, to develop design solutions that will ultimately inform future construction and investment by Council and others within Tūranganui-a-Kiwa (Gisborne). We are looking for a Supplier(s) to work with Council, mana whenua, and stakeholders to assess what a revitalised city centre must look, feel, and function like, from infrastructure through to streetscape. Council requires the Supplier to produce an AIP that will support delivery of a compact, vibrant and future ready city centre and lay out a multi-party investment approach to fund successful delivery. The output will be a practical, fundable AIP that informs delivery sequencing, investment logic, and partnership roles. While we think we have a good approach for how to get there, we welcome transformational thinking — across design, engagement, delivery, and funding models — provided it is grounded in expert rationale, achievability, and aligned with Council’s Long-Term Plan (LTP) timeframes. This work is foundational to Council’s next LTP and will directly inform Council’s financial commitment to this programme and capital investment decisions.
