New Zealand Government Procurement
MYD adheres to the 'Government Rules of Sourcing' when purchasing outcomes/contracting with providers. Please visit the New Zealand Government Procurement website external for more information.
Social Services Accreditation
Providers contracted by MYD must have the capability and capacity to deliver quality social services on an on-going basis.
Social Services Accreditation external assesses organisations, often under legislation, against a set of standards at a level that reflects the type of services they deliver. This means that both the Government and the provider’s clients can be confident in the services that are delivered.
