Strategic Procurement Advisory
Independent Advice on Project Delivery & Construction Sourcing
CM-NZ provides independent strategic procurement advisory services across New Zealand.
Many construction problems begin before a contractor is even appointed. The wrong delivery model, unclear risk allocation, or poorly structured contracts can lock projects into cost pressure, programme delays, and avoidable disputes.
We provide structured, independent procurement advice that helps clients establish the right delivery pathway from the outset. By assessing project objectives, constraints, funding requirements, and market conditions, we design procurement strategies that support value for money, funding approval, and reliable delivery.

Our strategic procurement services include:
- Review of project objectives, constraints, and stakeholder requirements
- Assessment of delivery and contracting options
- Market and capability analysis
- Risk allocation and commercial structure advice
- Procurement strategy and delivery model development
- Preparation of procurement documentation
What is strategic procurement?
Strategic procurement is the process of selecting and designing the right delivery model for a project.
It involves analysing project goals, risk profile, funding requirements, and market conditions. This ensures projects are sourced and managed in a way that ensure successful delivery.

We provide strategic procurement advice across a wide range of project types, including:
- Government and public sector projects
- Education and MoE-funded projects
- Commercial and mixed-use developments

This wide experience allows us to adapt our approach to each project’s unique requirements.
