Wellington City Council is facing fresh scrutiny over another questionable procurement process, despite Deloitte warning of widespread failures in how council manages contracts.

Wellington Ratepayers’ Alliance spokesman James Ross said:

“Deloitte found serious, systemic procurement problems at Council, including that only around one in five contracts are centrally recorded. This latest mess is a case in point.”

“With Council chasing $60 million in savings, ratepayers deserve to know how much is being wasted because council is failing to deliver competitive procurement?”
