$60 million saved with mobile service contracts

National expects the government to save about $60 million over the next five years after signing all-of-government procurement contracts for mobile, voice, and data services. These contracts cover all voice minutes and data used on mobile phones held by government employees.

The new contracts are part of our ongoing procurement reform programme, which is making government buying as efficient as possible and reducing cost. The programme includes all public sector agencies, councils, and up to 2500 schools.

The latest contracts mean we are on track to achieve a total saving to the Government and taxpayers of $350 million.

Each dollar saved can be reinvested in improving public services and essential infrastructure in order to help grow the economy.
