Te Whatu Ora - Infrastructure Broader Outcomes Supplier Guide

The construction, refurbishment and maintenance of healthcare infrastructure presents opportunities for Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora to build a more equitable, healthier workforce, and grow the capability and capacity of the sector through the delivery of skills development and employment outcomes. Te Whatu Ora can also protect and nurture the environment, consider the impact of climate change and support the Zero Carbon Act through the way we deliver infrastructure projects and the choices we make around design and material selection.

We can’t do this alone. To achieve these broader cultural, social, economic and environmental outcomes, we need to work with our suppliers and the construction sector to do things differently. Our Supplier Guide – Infrastructure Broader Outcomes explains the outcomes that Te Whatu Ora is trying to achieve and provides examples of the sort of questions that we may ask. You can expect to see this content in our procurement and contract documents, as we try to understand what your organisation is currently doing and how you could contribute to Te Whatu Ora broader outcomes through the building and maintenance of health infrastructure.

A copy of the Supplier Guide – Infrastructure Broader Outcomes is provided with this notice, it can also be found on the Te Whatu Ora website https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/assets/Our-health-system/Infrastructure-and-investment/Supplier-Guide-Infrastructure-Broader-Outcomes.pdf
