Familiarise yourself with our new procurement policy
Fire and Emergency has developed a new procurement policy that all personnel must familiarise themselves with before engaging in any procurement activities.
This policy applies to all personnel, secondees, Board members and contractors, employed or engaged on any basis by Fire and Emergency, whether they are casual, temporary or permanent, full time or part time, and whether they are in New Zealand or in any other country.
The purpose of the procurement policy is to ensure that Fire and Emergency achieves public value by following best practice procurement as laid out by Government Procurement Rules and support the All of Government goals of promoting innovation and growing NZ supplier markets for better outcomes.
The policy sets out the government’s expectations of how we conduct our procurement activity by adhering to the Government Procurement Charter(external link).
It is guided by the five principles of the charter:
- Plan and manage for great results
- Be fair to all suppliers
- Get the right supplier
- Get the best deal for everyone
- Play by the rules.
All procurement undertaken by Fire and Emergency must follow this policy. Our Procurement Team have put together a step-by-step process for doing so.
You can view this, as well as the rest of the policy, at Procure goods and services at Fire and Emergency.
You can also contact the Procurement Team on NHQ.Procurement@fireandemergency.nz if you have any questions about the policy or how to use it.
