Procurement policy 2025 [PDF, 120 KB]
The Council’s Procurement Policy includes a strong emphasis on sustainability, community wellbeing, and alignment with broader public sector expectations and strategic direction, recognising these as essential considerations in responsible and effective procurement.
Procurement can be a powerful tool to support positive environmental, social, cultural, and economic outcomes for our city.
We’re committed to partnering with suppliers and organisations that share our values; those who are not only committed to delivering value, quality, and ethical service but who also actively contribute to sustainability and community resilience.
While we continue to expect high standards in areas like timeliness, fairness, and integrity, we’re also considering environmental impact, social responsibility, and how suppliers can help us build a stronger, more sustainable Christchurch.
