In December 2011 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), through its predecessor the Ministry of Economic Development, implemented an All-of-Government (AoG) solution for the supply of External Legal Services. This original solution was for a period of two years with two rights of renewal of two years each. Both rights of renewal have been exercised and this solution will expire in December 2017. MBIE intends to have a new solution for the supply of External Legal Services to Eligible Agencies in place by December 2017
The key objectives of this RFP process are as follows:
-to deliver a commercial proposition to Eligible Agencies that is an improvement on the current solution and maximises the likelihood of Eligible Agency participation
-to deliver increased value for money through commercial innovation
-to further reduce Provider and Eligible Agency costs of engagement through agreed terms, centralised account management, and more effective and efficient approaches to market, including secondary selection processes
-to positively influence Participating Agencies’ purchasing decisions in relation to External Legal Services by providing access to value for money criteria such as high quality, performance, commercial innovation and pricing
-to provide opportunities to leverage common areas of need across Eligible Agencies through enhanced supply models which will further increase the overall value for money in the purchase of External Legal Services.
