The New Zealand PPP procurement process typically involves the following stages:
- EOI stage: The procuring agency conducts an open process to short list respondents who will be invited to participate in the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage.
- RFP stage: The short listed respondents develop detailed Proposals for delivering the outcomes sought by the project. Proposals include asset designs, a service solution, a fully developed financing solution and set out governance and management arrangements.
- Preferred Bidder (PB) stage: The procuring agency selects and negotiates with the PB, including resolving any legal, financial and/or design issues with the Proposal identified during the RFP evaluation.
- Commercial and Financial Close stage: The completion of negotiations, including signing the project agreement and completion of the financing arrangements, as well as the final determination of the price.
