“From tender to contract.”

Successful projects aren’t built from drawings and schedules alone – they rely on the right partners and the right contractual agreements. The procurement stage is often where complexity peaks, as it sets the foundation for the contractual relationship between parties. When this foundation is strong, projects thrive; when it is not, risks multiply.

Once the scope of work is defined, we work with the clients to shape a sourcing strategy that balances governance, commercial value, and delivery certainty. From drafting tender documents and evaluation criteria to guiding supplier negotiations and contract selection, we create the working conditions for long-term value.

Our expertise extends to advising on the most appropriate contract structures — whether traditional forms such as NZ$3910 and NZ$3915, or alternative approaches that enable early contractor involvement, novated consultants, or nominated suppliers. Each approach carries its own risk allocations and commercial implications. We guide clients in selecting and implementing the model that best aligns with their project’s risk profile, governance needs, and delivery strategy.

Because no two businesses are the same, our procurement route recommendations are tailored to the client’s objectives and operating environment. In doing so, we provide assurance that procurement decisions are transparent, defensible and commercially sound – setting every project on the right course from the outset.
