Publication of Contract Award Notices
Another outcome of the April 2001 review of procurement policy was the decision to improve transparency of information on contracts awarded, with the aim of improving market information for all potential suppliers, domestic and international. Accordingly, the Government requires departments to:
- publish notices of purchase contracts awarded over $50,000 (excluding GST), at least quarterly, on the Internet.
The NZISO website provides a centralised point for publication of award notices, or links to notices published on individual departmental websites.
The post-award notification requirement is subject to review by 30 November 2002, and may be further revised from time to time. Departments should refer to the document Guidelines and Rules for Publication of Contract Award for up-to-date details, including exemptions.
