Earlier this year, Simon Power, the New Zealand government Minister for Commerce, launched a far-reaching reform of government procurement across the country.
The reform is ambitious in its intent and is part of a wider government response to improve value for money in the current economic climate. The reform calls for rapid change in government procurement performance and has a strong focus on delivering tangible savings.
The reform covers four broad themes:
- Cost savings
- Building procurement capacity and capability
- Enhanced business participation
- Improved governance, oversight and accountability
