Aequa advises the buying decision itself — which route to market, and why — grounded in your own procurement framework. Not another record of what you already decided.
Datum · your framework, your delegations, your thresholds
More is asked of procurement teams every year, by fewer people, against rules that keep moving. Every system on the market helps after the decision has already been made.
More scrutiny, more reporting, more outcomes — from the same headcount or less. The first thing dropped is the thinking at the front of the process, where it matters most.
New Zealand's Government Procurement Rules are on their fifth edition. Your own delegations, panels and internal policy are no simpler — and no more static.
Systems of record capture what you chose. None of them will tell a non-expert buyer how to buy this particular thing, at this value, in this market, right now.
Five stages on one spine, with the same rules underneath each — not five tools bolted together and reconciled by hand at quarter end.
Needs analysis and a route-to-market recommendation with its reasoning attached: panel, open market, or closed RFP.
Run it. Milestones, probity checkpoints, risk flags, and a pipeline the whole team can read at a glance.
Award through to expiry. Obligations, renewal dates and variations tracked, rather than remembered.
A performance record that accrues across the contract, not a survey assembled from memory once a year.
Spend and portfolio visibility, shaped for the questions ministers, auditors and boards actually ask.
Ask whether you can extend a contract by twelve months, and Aequa answers from your delegations policy and the rule that governs it — quoting the clause it read. A general model gives a general answer. Procurement runs on specifics.
Bring your own model and your own keys. Your framework, your tenant, no lock-in to a single AI vendor — and nothing about your pipeline leaves your walls.
Why not the panel. Estimated value exceeds the panel's secondary-procurement ceiling, and only two of six credible suppliers hold a current appointment. Going to open market restores contestability without adding material time.
Sourced from — Procurement Policy v4.2 §6.1 · Delegations Schedule B · GPR 5th ed. Rule 14
The buyer's side, and only that side. No supplier listings, no marketplace take, no incentive that runs the other way.
Answers come from your uploaded policies, templates and delegations. Your rules — not the internet's best guess at them.
Built around the New Zealand Government Procurement Rules from the start, not a global suite retrofitted to this market afterwards.
Bring your own AI keys. No lock-in to one vendor, and your procurement data stays inside your own tenant.
Wellington-built by people who have run public-sector procurement here and delivered AI-enabled change inside it.
Anywhere buying carries public or shareholder scrutiny. Mergers and restructures are home ground — when the systems are already in flux, better ones can take hold.
