New Zealand - DHV Stage 2b Modifications Request for Tender

Description

This RFT is an invitation to Tenderers to submit a Tender to the Crown for the Dive and Hydrographic Vessel Stage 2b Modifications Project (the DHV 2b Mods Project) contract opportunity.
The MoD in conjunction with the NZDF has procured a Diving and Hydrographic vessel (HMNZS MANAWANUI) for the Royal New Zealand Navy. This Ship is a 15-year old Norwegian built ship that has been operating as an oil and gas industry support vessel in the North Sea. Following purchase of the Ship, modifications (termed Stage 1 modifications) were carried out in Europe, including the installation of diving, hydrographic and ROV systems. The Ship was delivered to Devonport Naval Base in Auckland, where it will remain alongside until the end of 2019. Modifications to install communication equipment (termed Stage 2a modifications) will be completed by an approved installer during this time. Mechanical and electrical modifications form a package (termed Stage 2b modifications) that will need to be carried out by the end of 2019 concurrently with Stage 2a modifications.
This RFT is seeking Tenders to complete the entire Stage 2b modifications package mentioned above. It is expected this package will be completed between October and December 2019 and must be carried out at the Devonport Naval Base. The current intent is that the Ship will not move from its location during 2019 and there is currently no requirement for it to be put in the dry-dock facility.
This RFT is made up of three parts, being:
(a) Part One: Instructions and Conditions of Tender.
(b) Part Two: Statement of Requirements.
(c) Part Three: The draft Contract
The Contractual Compliance Matrix required to be completed in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 also forms part of this RFT, and is issued as part of the RFT package.
