What is GETS?
GETS (Government Electronic Tenders Service, gets.govt.nz) is New Zealand's central government procurement platform, operated by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) as the mandatory publication channel for all New Zealand government agencies. It covers central government ministries, Crown entities, and district health boards, and publishes procurement opportunities and contract awards in English. GETS integrates with New Zealand's All-of-Government contract frameworks managed by MBIE, under which agencies can access pre-negotiated supply arrangements without individual tender processes.

Key procurement sectors
New Zealand procurement landscape
New Zealand's government procurement accounts for approximately 18% of GDP, spanning a comprehensive public sector with strong transparency and social procurement commitments. Construction and infrastructure procurement is the highest-value category, covering schools, hospitals, social housing, transport, and water infrastructure across both islands. Healthcare procurement through district health boards and the Ministry of Health covers medical devices, pharmaceuticals, IT systems, and hospital services for New Zealand's public health system. IT services procurement has expanded significantly through New Zealand's digital government strategy, covering cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital service delivery platforms. Agriculture procurement — for the Ministry for Primary Industries and research institutions — reflects New Zealand's central economic relationship with food and fiber exports. Social procurement is embedded in New Zealand's framework: the government actively promotes indigenous Maori business participation and measures social outcomes alongside price and quality in many tender evaluations. New Zealand's procurement law is well-aligned with international standards, and free trade agreements with major trading partners extend access to international vendors for above-threshold contracts.
Bidding on New Zealand tenders.
Vendors must register on GETS, obtain a New Zealand Companies Office registration or equivalent for contract performance, and comply with the Government Rules of Sourcing. For contracts with social procurement objectives, vendors may need to demonstrate Maori business partnerships or social outcome commitments. All documentation is in English.
Why search GETS with Hook?
GETS is a well-organized English-language platform, but the volume of opportunities across construction, health, IT, and agriculture requires consistent daily monitoring to stay ahead of relevant tenders.
