Co-Lab has established a professional services panel (PSP) to provide the participating councils easy and compliant access to consultancy services for council work related to infrastructure and development. The PSP does not cover physical works.
The panel is split into 8 disciplines and multiple skill sets:

Co-Lab receives a lot of requests from suppliers to join the panel. However as there are over 170 suppliers we are confident that there is sufficient capability and capacity with existing PSP suppliers without the need to include new ones. As such, the PSP is a closed panel. This means we are not accepting applications from new suppliers seeking to join the panel. The next opportunity to join the panel is likely to be in late 2023 or early 2024 ahead of the panel expiring in July 2024. The new PSP, like the current one, will be established through a competitive open tender process that follows and is consistent with the NZ Government procurement framework.
Co-Lab has created a password-controlled webpage that includes the details of the PSP approved suppliers, guidance on how best to use the panel, templates to use, and other information. Participating councils can access webpage at procurement.colabsolutions.govt.nz.
