Te Kaitaonga Haere | Progressive procurement
Progressive procurement encourages government agencies to look beyond just price to the wider social, economic, and cultural value of diversifying their suppliers, starting with Māori businesses. Government agencies in Aotearoa New Zealand spend more than $51.5 billion on goods and services every year and Māori businesses are under-represented in that spend.
If you are a 50% Māori-owned registered business or classified by IRD as a Māori authority and interested in government contracts, you could benefit from our programme. We offer a range of support to help Māori businesses navigate government procurement processes, lift their capability if required and prepare Māori businesses for government procurement opportunities.
