LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT
A Procurement Strategy is required by NZTA as part of meeting requirements of S25 of L TMA 2003.

REGULATORY CONTEXT
NZTA Procurement Manual acts as the regulatory guideline for procurement of subsidised roading activities. Requirement that the strategy needs to address:

VALUE FOR MONEY
For the purposes of this Strategy we will take the definition provided by the Office of the Auditor General "best possible outcome for the total cost of ownership"

COMPETITIVE AND EFFICIENT MARKETS
The balance between effective competition and efficiency of procurement processes is essential to achieving value for money over the long term. This strategy provides for a range of delivery models and procurement procedures to ensure competition is maintained without creating costly inefficiencies through 'one size fits all' rules.

FAIR COMPETITION AMONG SUPPLIERS
Ensuring competitive and efficient markets is about developing sustainable value for money delivery over the long term. Ensuring fair competition among suppliers contributes to that goal by giving confidence to the market that everyone has a chance of obtaining work, in an environment where they all know the rules. Equally important is ensuring the procurement environment is one where rules are not too onerous or restrictive for the scale and type of service being provided.
