Simon Arcus: Wellington Chamber of Commerce CEO on the changes to the Government's procurement rules

Some changes to the Government's procurement rule book are being welcomed.  Currently, there are 71 rules a business must follow to be awarded a government contract, but the Finance Minister is bringing that down to 47.   It's also introducing a new economic benefit test which will consider the wider benefit to New Zealand when awarding contracts to Kiwi firms.  Wellington Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Simon Arcus told Andrew Dickens this should've been happening from the start.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
