新西兰政府采购网2016年10月27日消息 新西兰政府采购办公室热烈欢迎这个新成立的小组—社会服务采购力小组。该小组将专注于支持社会组织和机构加强采购能力建设，并致力于与提供社区服务的供应商订立契约。

　　新西兰政府每年都要花费数十亿美元提高卫生和教育服务水平，减少犯罪率，保护新西兰最弱势的公民。在新西兰政府采购支出目录中，社会服务是最大的项目，根据商业、创新和雇佣部（MBIE）的第三方分析，社会会公共服务占了政府采购总支出的21%以上。

　　有效的社会服务采购对照顾我们社会易受伤害群体和弱势群体至关重要。新成立的这个小组将履行以下职能：
　　--与采购人和经营服务项目的供应商建立联系
　　--团结人们一起协作，分享专业技术
　　--分享成功案例和实践经验，找到更好的工作方法

　　在接下来的几个月里，该小组将热情地会见致力于公共服务工作的人们，与社会服务供应商以及他们的代理小组进行会晤。小组希望就未来工作听取他们的意见和观点。

　　小组还将与政府社会公共部门一起工作，制定有关社会服务采购的指导原则，并继续聚焦合同流程。

　　27 October 2016

　　New Zealand Government Procurement is delighted to welcome a new team, Social Services Procurement Capability. This team will focus on supporting social sector agencies in their work to enhance procurement capability and their engagement of providers working in the community.

　　Every year, government spends billions of dollars on services to improve health and educational outcomes, reduce crime rates and protect New Zealand’s most vulnerable citizens. Social services is the largest government procurement category by spend, making up 21% of expenditure with third parties in 2012 (MBIE analysis).

　　Effective procurement of social services is critical for the care of vulnerable or disadvantaged people in our communities. The Social Services team will:
　　-Connect with people procuring and managing services and with providers
　　-Link people together to collaborate and share expertise
　　-Share examples of good practice and better ways of working

　　In the next few months the team is keen to meet with people engaging or working with social services providers and with social services providers and their representative groups. They want hear your views on the future work of the team.

　　With social sector agencies, the team is also working on guidance on the procurement of social services and continuing the focus on streamlined contracting.
