Online Panel Directory is closing
The Online Panel Directory (OPD) is closing and panel information currently on OPD will move to this website.
How you access provider and rate information for the suite of Professional Services AoG contracts, currently on OPD, will change in mid-September.
Paul Simonsen, AoG Portfolio Manager NZGP explains, “The decommissioning decision for OPD was outside our control, but we have created an interim solution using our website.”
The Professional Services AoG contracts impacted are:
- Consultancy Services
- Construction Consultancy Services
- Creative Media and Design
- Property Consultancy Services
- Talent Acquisition Services
“Agency users will be able to access contract information with their website login, using RealMe. Now is a great time to jump onto our website and check your login details still work. Security is very important to all users – our suppliers and our agencies. We want to ensure that accessing supplier information via our website is secure.”
This workaround will need to be used until we migrate these contracts to Procure Connect – the Government’s Commercial Centre. Procure Connect is the one-stop-shop e-platform which will enable a shared digital space for agencies and suppliers.
“We’ll be in touch directly with affected agencies with more information about what they need to access these contracts on our website.” says Paul.
