Kauneke | Progressive Procurement
With the number of large scale construction and infrastructure projects on the horizon, government agencies need to be thinking about how they can transform procurement and risk management practices. Under Rule 17 of the Government Procurement Rules there is an opportunity to look at how supplier diversity and generating broader social outcomes through government purchasing can contribute to local economic development but also managing supply chain risk. The construction and infrastructure sector faces productivity challenges and work shortages due to disrupted supply chains. We want to support local employment, grow our local businesses, training and career pathways, and enable development opportunities here in Tauranga Moana.
If you are looking to manage supply chain risk and deliver on community benefits we can help. We have developed tools and frameworks that can be adopted and adapted to suit your procurement objectives while also ensuring broader outcomes can be achieved.
