Your benefits:

All New Zealand state sector agencies, including Public Service departments, Crown agencies, local government authorities, health boards and school boards, can access the following features and benefits by using the All-of-Government Services panel:

• Access to a range of providers offering quality and good value for money services
• Ease of process and engagement through a standardised consultancy services order
• No need to negotiate individual terms and conditions with individual providers
• Clear specified maximum rates for each provider
• Rates can be negotiated if required
• Save time and money by not having to undergo a primary procurement process on GETS when sourcing consultancy services
• Provision of provider performance (Tier 1 and 2) information from New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP) so that agencies can review provider performance prior to engagement
• An Online Panel Directory for ease of provider selection
• Initiatives to support broader outcomes
• Most AoG contracts include an administration fee. This fee is a simple, effective and transparent way of recovering the cost of developing, sourcing, implementing and managing AoG contracts. Providers collect the administration fee and pass it on to MBIE - agencies don't need to make any payments to MBIE.
