RFT: Pacific Australia Skills – SST Facility Upgrade Project Tonga National University National Position

About the Proposal

The Tonga National University (TNU) School of Science and Technology (SST) is a premier technical and vocational education provider in Tonga. It is registered with Tonga National Qualifications and Accreditation Board (TNQAB) under the Ministry of Education and Training (MET) and offers courses in carpentry, welding, electrical, plumbing, and automotive.

TNU–SST is a nationally registered TVET provider under the Tonga National Qualifications and Accreditation Board (TNQAB), delivering trade programs across carpentry, electrical, plumbing, welding, and automotive disciplines. In response to identified national skills needs, TNU–SST has proposed two additional construction trade qualifications being Bricklaying and Blocklaying, and Wall and Floor Tiling.

This project seeks to address critical infrastructure, safety, and equipment gaps to the current SST facility to enable the roll out of trade training in Bricklaying and Blocklaying, and Wall and Floor Tiling.

Pacific Australia Skills (PAS) seeks to engage a suitably qualified Lead Design Consultant (LDC) to produce compliant, industry-aligned architectural and engineering design documentation, navigate the necessary planning and approval processes in Tonga, provide technical assistance to a later procurement process for a Principal Contractor, and carry out periodic inspections of the construction work to ensure that it complies with the design documentation and project requirements.
