At ArcBlue, we know Central and Local Government. A number of our team, myself included, have worked for the public sector and we understand the unique challenges, such as public scrutiny, regulatory requirements, and ensuring alignment to the Government Procurement Rules when required. We’ve been part of the All-Of-Government Consultancy Panel since 2015. We’re a Tier Two supplier for Consultancy. But a reminder, we’re also on the Audit Panel for Probity, and we’re offering our capability uplift for procurement professionals through the Human Resources Panel.

At ArcBlue, everything we do for our clients aligns to our mission to deliver positive change through procurement. We’re an independent subsidiary of Bain & Company, operating across the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on delivering more value for our clients through procurement and supply chain excellence. Together, ArcBlue and Bain deliver an integrated end-to-end procurement transformation offering, which incorporates strategy, technology, design, capability development and implementation services.

Our technology solutions, including analytics & mybuy hub, are enabling organisations to simplify their processes with robust data and information so that procurement teams can focus on the right things. And because we’re on the DIA marketplace, you can be assured our security levels meet New Zealand Government standards.

Our passionate social and sustainable procurement team can embed broader outcomes into your processes, making it a ‘business as usual’ focus, instead of a ‘nice to have’. We’re proud to have been the developer of the Broader Outcomes Framework, but that was just phase one. There’s plenty more an Agency or a Council can do to deliver tangible public value to our wider communities.

We know your resources are stretched. There’s always too much to do and not enough time or people. We see this a lot in Local Government where often there are very few people working in procurement. We’ve been helping Councils build robust but simple policy and processes to enable everyone in Council to support the procurement activity while maintaining strong governance and compliance monitoring. And, when necessary, we can provide experienced resources to deliver a unique project or sourcing activity where your in-house team may not have the wider category specific knowledge required.

ArcBlue will continue to work closely with the New Zealand public sector to achieve your procurement goals. Our expertise, collaborative approach and our commitment to innovation makes us the ideal partner for public sector organisations looking to deliver more value through procurement.
