31903 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Transport: Do the Broader Outcomes requirements in the Government Procurement Rules continue to apply to procurement undertaken by officials for the RiverLink project in Lower Hutt, and has the application or weighting of those requirements to that project changed in any way since 27 November 2023?

Hon Chris Bishop: Yes, the Broader Outcomes requirements in the Government Procurement Rules continue to apply to procurement undertaken by officials. There have been no significant changes since the RiverLink Melling Transport Improvements Alliance agreement was signed in April 2025. The Procurement Management Plan is currently undergoing its annual review to ensure continuous alignment with the requirements.
