Testimonials

What our customers are saying

The tools and processes introduced through NZ Procurement were sharp, targeted and cost-effective. In the process, our Procurement Team learned new methods that will save huge time and costs from future procurement processes. 

South Island Council Infrastructure Manager, November 2021

Under guidance from Caroline and her team, this procurement process opened our eyes to new ways of working. Our contract decisions were tightly focused on effective supplier selection methods and tools, far more cost-efficient, and undeniably delivered the best supplier for the project in record time. Highly recommended! 

DHB Procurement Manager, June 2021

Thanks for your input into this, our largest and most contentious tender so far. The leadership and probity assurance provided on this project gave us huge confidence in the systems, tools and processes that you introduced us to. We’re adopting your templates as common practice across all our procurement activity.
