What is MPI New Zealand and What Does It Procure?

MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) was formed in 2012 through the merger of MAF (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry), NZFSA (New Zealand Food Safety Authority), and New Zealand Fisheries. It is now the single agency managing New Zealand's entire primary sector, with a mandate to grow and protect the economic, environmental, and social value of New Zealand's food and fibre system. Procurement categories include biosecurity surveillance programmes (pest and disease surveys, pathway analysis, risk assessment), border inspection services and training, incursion response logistics and treatments, agricultural diagnostic laboratory services, food safety audit and testing services, fisheries observer programs, aquaculture monitoring, research and science services (contracts with CRIs and universities), rural development consulting, and GIS and data systems for primary sector monitoring. All MPI tenders are published on GETS (gets.govt.nz), New Zealand's government e-procurement platform. MPI's Finance and Procurement team manages all supplier relationships. New Zealand is a GPA signatory with fully open procurement access for international suppliers.

MPI New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries Procurement — FAQ.

What makes MPI biosecurity procurement distinctive and valuable? +

New Zealand's island status and its primary sector's dependence on freedom from major pests and diseases makes biosecurity one of the country's highest-priority and best-funded government activities. MPI runs sophisticated multi-year surveillance programmes for dozens of potential incursion organisms, creates robust incursion response systems, and procures cutting-edge diagnostic technologies—representing premium contract opportunities for specialist biosecurity and diagnostic firms.

What research and science services does MPI procure? +

MPI procures scientific research and technical services from Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) like AgResearch, Scion, NIWA, and Plant & Food Research, and through competitive procurement from universities and private research firms. Contracts cover pest and disease surveillance analysis, climate change impact research, fisheries stock assessment, food safety risk analysis, and primary sector productivity research.

Is MPI procurement accessible to international agricultural science firms? +

Yes. New Zealand is a GPA signatory with fully open procurement rules, and MPI actively engages international firms for specialised biosecurity technology, diagnostic equipment, food safety audit services, and specialist research capabilities not available locally. The small size of the New Zealand market means MPI genuinely needs international competition for many specialist categories.
