Officials and staff of the Procurement Service – Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PS-PhilGEPS) visited Wellington, New Zealand (NZ) on March 22 to 28, 2015 to conduct a study tour and learn more about the best procurement practices in New Zealand, a country with excellent background in good governance and transparency in government transactions. This is part of the PS-PhilGEPS’ capacity building program which aims to increase the agency’s capacity and upgrade skills in government procurement.
