Some changes to the Government's procurement rule book are being welcomed.
Currently, there are 71 rules a business must follow to be awarded a government contract, but the Finance Minister is bringing that down to 47.
It's also introducing a new economic benefit test which will consider the wider benefit to New Zealand when awarding contracts to Kiwi firms.
