  Procurement Knowledge Hour: Framework for delivering broader outcomes

  We are now bringing our popular Procurement Knowledge Hours to Auckland with at least three sessions planned for 2020.

  To kick off, Tara Macmillan (NZ Transport Agency) will present the broader outcomes framework. Supported by Jazz Singh (Auckland Council), they will then share examples of how central and local Government are pursuing secondary benefits through their respective procurement activities.

  There is increasing work internationally and in New Zealand, aimed at achieving greater value from public sector procurement activity. Within New Zealand, the NZTA and Auckland Council are agencies who are leading the work in this space.

  Come along to Auckland Town Hall to hear Tara present a central government agency perspective, and Jazz give a regional Auckland Council perspective of how the pursuit of broader outcomes is being approached.

  Procurement knowledge hours are open to New Zealand Public Sector procurement practitioners.
