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 wide range of goods and services from third party suppliers.
Getting procurement right produces better outcomes for New Zealanders. We can make this happen through our All-of Government contracts, technology that supports excellent procurement practices, good government policy and well-informed strategic advice.
We help government maximise public value by leveraging procurement to support economic growth. This includes promoting efficiency, competition and support for New Zealand businesses.
We provide a procurement framework, including the Government Procurement Rules, that enables best practice procurement.
We manage the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) and New Zealand’s All-of-Government contracts for common goods and services. AoG 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.
We provide a range of support to make procurement easier. We share knowledge, processes, templates and insights.
We’re using technology, capability and encouraging agency collaboration to deliver a system improvement programme that will realise these opportunities over the medium to long term.
Our work programme is future-focussed and 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 the needs of New Zealand organisations.
