Auckland Network Optimisation Business Case Professional Services Procurement

This procurement package seeks to secure Professional Services to complete Auckland Network Optimisation Single Stage Business Case (SSBC) using Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) Business Case Approach. The SSBC is jointly funded by Auckland Transport (AT) and Waka Kotahi to unlock additional funding for optimisation from FY 21/22 onwards.

The SSBC is a fit for purpose approach to cover the whole Auckland network including AT and Waka Kotahi jurisdiction that merges option identification and detailed analysis in one phase of the business case approach. Whilst it excludes the rail and ferry network, it does include interchanges for these modes where they interact with the roading network.

The SSBC shall respond to the recommendations of the approved Auckland Network Optimisation Programme Business Case (PBC). Optimisation is a relatively inexpensive, quick and effective way to mitigate the effects of congestion and low levels of service.

It is a series of multi-modal low-cost interventions that maximises use of the existing network through small physical interventions, active network management, behaviour change and technology to create extra road capacity.
