Listen "#5: Same old same old?"
Episode Synopsis
How can Northland businesses win Crown or Council work? Will new Government Procurement Rules eliminate the social engineering? Or is it the same old same old?In this episode of the True North podcast we speak with George Hulbert of The Clarity Business, which specialises in helping businesses win bids and tenders. Particularly bids and tenders from government agencies and local government .If you’re involved with any sort of organisation tendering for any type of work from New Zealand central government, a government agency or even local government, you’ll want to be across what George has to say about proposed changes to the Government Procurement Rules.At first glance it looks like the proposed changes may kill off the previous Labour government’s ‘Broader Outcomes’ procurement policy – which required companies bidding for the government dollar to demonstrate delivery against various social, cultural, environmental and economic measurements.However, on closer inspection it seems that this might not quite be the case. For the full picture, take a listen to this episode.
