Auckland Council is a large buyer of goods, services and works — with an annual spend of over 1 billion. Where possible we use our spending power to deliver positive social, economic, environmental, and cultural outcomes for Aucklanders.
The aim of our Sustainable Procurement Framework is to drive positive change within our communities and provide council with a significant lever to achieve better outcomes for Aucklanders.
This means using contractors and suppliers with a commitment to supporting wider outcomes, going beyond price considerations and the immediate purchase of goods and services.
We are focusing our sustainable procurement efforts across five areas:
Through sustainable procurement, we aim to deliver an improved quality of life, both now and for future generations.
Our Sustainable Procurement Framework aims to create positive impact for our suppliers, contractors, and the communities we serve.
We are working hard with our strategic partners to deliver better sustainability and social outcomes for Auckland's economic success and prosperity.
