Principles, charter and rules

New Zealand government procurement is shaped by our five principles, the Government Procurement Charter and supported by the Government Procurement Rules.

The broad framework we've developed to support good practice in all kinds of procurement includes:

  • five Principles of Government Procurement
  • Government Procurement Charter
  • Government Procurement Rules
  • other good practice guidance.

You can use the Rules as well as the Principles and the Charter to help guide the process on any procurement project. All government procurement and the Charter must follow the Principles and some agencies must follow the Rules for certain projects.
