Procurement and tendering play a vital role in New Zealand’s economy, governed by the New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP) framework introduced in 2019. Key sectors such as construction, healthcare, education, IT, transport, and energy are heavily engaged in these processes.
Despite an annual government procurement spend of $42 billion, small and Māori-owned businesses remain significantly underrepresented in successful tenders. Barriers such as limited access to flexible training, complex compliance requirements, and gaps in digital literacy continue to prevent many capable businesses from competing on a level playing field.
We will be engaging fully with stakeholders and our wider consultation group throughout the project. We welcome feedback or expressions of interest to be involved at any time and will continue to add people who are interested, by emailing [email protected].
