What I offer

New Zealand government spends about $51.5 billion a year on externally sourced goods and services. In my thirteen years working in New Zealand government procurement, I have seen that there are a large number of smaller New Zealand organisations who have really great offerings that would support government agencies, and the people of Aotearoa.

However, they struggle with the formal procurement processes, which can be difficult to navigate and full of jargon. All too often they either give up, put in responses that don't represent what their organisation can offer, or hire expensive bid writers to do the work for them.

My mission is to help demystify the procurement process, making it simpler for you to submit bids that represent your value, and setting you up for success, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a bid writer time and time again.

As a top level procurement professional with additional experience of being on the 'sales side' of the fence, I am a skilled navigator to support you on your procurement journey. I provide you with the map, help you pack your bags and prepare, and then walk alongside you as you create and submit your response. With me as your guide, you can position yourself for success!

A Trusted Navigator for your Procurement journey

As your navigator and guide for the procurement process, I will help you plan for the journey ahead, prepare and walk with you.

Packing your Bags

Are you tasked with nailing that elusive contract with your local council or key government agency?

Thrown so much time at responses to requests for proposals and not gotten anywhere?

And you don’t even know why your approach isn’t working!

I get it! Selling to government is hard. There are so many acronyms, documents buried in jargon, obscure processes, and on top of that, tight deadlines that you have to manage around everything else in your job.

With my Packing your Bags package, I will get you ready for the journey ahead.

Navigating the route

Do you have a bid on the go? Spotted a Request for Proposal or a Request for Tender which you'd love to respond to? Are you aware of something coming up that would be perfect for your organisation?

How do you focus on what is important?

How do you know if you are presenting your company at its absolute best?

Imagine having someone walking alongside you who truly understands the government procurement process and who can support and guide you around the cliff edges and pitfalls.

Wouldn't it be great to have the confidence that you have met the requirements of the procurement process and put in your best response?
