About the 10 Year Property Plan

The purpose of a 10 Year Property Plan (10YPP) is to maximise student learning outcomes through the planned provision of quality learning environments within available budgets.

A 10YPP ensures that school buildings are maintained and meet the learning and teaching needs of the school.

10 Year Property Plan

A 10 Year Property Plan must be prepared by a Ministry-trained consultant.

Becoming a consultant

We select consultants for schools from our 10YPP consultant panel through a secondary tender process. The panel was created following a separate pre-qualification process.

To become a 10YPP consultant you must work for an organisation on the 10YPP consultant panel and complete our compulsory training.

For more information email TPHM.Commercial@education.govt.nz.

Tendering for bundles

Each year we group 3 to 8 schools ("bundles") whose 10YPP is due. We offer those bundles by closed tender to suppliers on the 10YPP consultants panel.

We evaluate the tenders based on a set evaluation criteria and determine the most appropriate 'packages' of work in a way that is practical, efficient and manageable. We award these based on a number of factors.

Training

Participating in and passing the training programme is compulsory for all prospective 10YPP consultants.

The training is a distance learning package that includes readings, videos, exercises and assessments. You will be required to attend 3 one-hour webinar sessions.

We make sessions available for consultants who have been awarded bundles.

There may be some cases where you have been advised by your contract lead that attending this training. This is required depending on when your training was last completed.
