New Zealand Government Technology Procurement

Member feedback survey 2024

Our recent survey, conducted as part of the 2024 Review of the Government Procurement Rules consultation by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), provides valuable insights into members’ experiences with New Zealand’s Government procurement process. 

Respondents highlighted clear communication, structured processes, and collaborative engagement, with some praising timely feedback and the use of technology. However, many raised concerns over inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and challenges faced by small businesses. Members emphasised the need for a more streamlined and inclusive system that balances cost considerations with long-term outcomes and encourages innovation.

Our report summarises the key themes from the feedback and suggests areas for improvement.
