Data Sources & Methodology

GETS Contracts: Sourced from MBIE's Government Electronic Tenders Service open data. Includes all published contract awards with supplier details. Some contract values are undisclosed.

Council Contracts: Auckland Council awarded contracts and supplier spend data (contracts ≥$50K). Sourced from council transparency reports.

Cross-Linking: Suppliers are matched to NZX-listed companies and registered charities by name and NZBN. Matches are approximate and may not capture all subsidiary relationships.

Limitations: GETS data quality varies; not all agencies consistently publish award amounts. Council data currently covers Auckland Council only.

Data sourced from MBIE GETS Open Data, Auckland Council transparency reports. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@nzxplorer.co.nz.
