I've just finished a series of government procurement briefings in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland as a joint initiative between MBIE, NZTE and BusinessNZ. Called "Increase your strike rate with government", the information we rolled out is designed to help make it easier for you to work with government agencies to deliver innovative and effective procurement solutions that get the best value for New Zealanders, including:
- A new online supplier resource centre and other services designed to help businesses improve their strike rate in winning major and complex contracts
- An insider view of what government buyers want from suppliers
- The new government model tender templates and new Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) that aim to make it easier for business to navigate opportunities with government.
Improvements such as standardisation of documentation means businesses don't have to keep supplying the same information.
If you missed the briefings you can find out more here.
