We help government agencies to deliver better public services for better public value.
Each year, government agencies spend approximately $51.5 billion, around 20% of the country’s GDP, procuring a range of goods and services from suppliers.
Getting procurement right produces better outcomes for New Zealanders. We can make this happen through our All-of-Government (AoG) contracts, technology that supports excellent procurement practices, good government policy and well-informed strategic advice.
We help the Government maximise public value by leveraging procurement to support economic growth. This includes promoting efficiency, competition and support for New Zealand businesses.
New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP) also provides a procurement framework, including the Government Procurement Rules, to enable best practice procurement.
Additionally, we manage the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) and New Zealand’s AoG contracts for common goods and services. These contracts save agencies money, time and effort by leveraging government’s collective purchasing power.
We help government agencies with the full procurement process, providing expert support and guidance, supplier understanding, and leading market engagement.
NZGP provides a range of support to make procurement easier. We share knowledge, processes, templates and insights with agencies and suppliers.
Over time, we are using technology upgrades and improving capability to deliver a variety of system improvements. Our work programme aims to:
We work with agencies, schools and suppliers to collect data that increases the transparency of government spending. Visibility of spend enables better planning, purchasing and management of government contracts.
NZGP supports agency capability through the Procurement Capability Index and conducts surveys with agencies and suppliers to better understand their needs.
