Māori procurement

Māori procurement involves purchasing goods and services in ways that support and respect Māori values, businesses, and communities. It aims to foster economic development among Māori by prioritizing their participation, ownership, and control in supply chains. This approach promotes cultural connection, sustainability, and social wellbeing, often through dedicated programs or set-asides that encourage government agencies and organizations to engage with Māori businesses. Overall, Māori procurement seeks to create equitable opportunities and strengthen Māori economic sovereignty within the broader economy.
