To select suppliers we would normally undertaken some form of tender process. In general, Requests for Quotation, Requests for Information, Expressions of Interest, Requests for Proposal, and Tenders are advertised on the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) website 
Suppliers may register with GETS to gain access to public sector tender information.
When transacting business it is Taranaki DHB’s responsibility to supply you with a valid purchase order clearly specifying the goods and/or services it wishes to procure.
It is your responsibility not to supply goods and/or services unless you receive a valid purchase order.
If Taranaki DHB receives an invoice without firstly issuing a valid purchase order the DHB may choose not to pay your invoice. To avoid any embarrassment please ensure you quote our official order number on all communications (packing/delivery notes, invoices and Statements.)
Taranaki DHB Visiting Company Representative Policies (see below) exist to ensure staff and patients are not inconvenienced by unscheduled interruptions. This governs all access to all Taranaki DHB staff and sites. These policies basically mean business visitors must sign in as a visitor at the hospital main entrance reception. When visiting, company representatives MUST have booked an appointment with each person they wish to speak to prior to arrival.

It is vital that supplier details and payments are managed in a manner that will assist with the establishment of a good business relationship from the beginning.
Our new supplier process has been designed and developed to ensure information is exchanged and the administrative process for both parties is established. It establishes the rules of the business relationship to prevent any misunderstanding and clearly states our requirements and expectations.
