Construction Directory

This directory is available for use by Ministry led projects only. All projects will be tendered to Directory suppliers in the first instance.

All-of-Government Construction consultancy services panel
The Ministry of Education is one of over 130 government agencies that are required by the Government Procurement Rules to use the All-of-Government construction consultancy services panel.
The AoG CCS gives us access to a panel that is specifically set up for the consultancy services we need for our construction projects.
If you aren’t already on the AoG CCS panel as a provider, joining is easy and allows you to offer your services to a wide range of government agencies.
For more information on joining the panel see the New Zealand Government Procurement website.
Professional Services Directory
The Ministry has a specialised sub-panel of the AoG CCS panel called the Professional Services Directory. All suppliers on the Professional Services Directory are required to also be members of the AoG CCS panel.
The Professional Services Directory currently covers Quantity Surveying services and Master Planning & Lead Design services. Over time we will add further consultancy services, including Project Management.
Like our Construction Directory, the Professional Services Directory will be refreshed for new suppliers to join and existing suppliers to amend their appointment. The Ministry will endeavour to release an open Notice of Intent on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) prior to any refresh.
