The Ministry of Defence purchases major equipment which becomes a capability when it is used by the personnel of the New Zealand Defence Force.
Ka hoko te Manatū Kaupapa Waonga i ngā utauta nui e tū ai hei āheinga ina whakamahia e ngā kaimahi a Te Ope Kātua o Aotearoa.
Once Cabinet has approved an investment, the Ministry is responsible for the successful delivery of that project from procurement to introduction into service.
This work is done in partnership with the NZDF, through the formation of integrated project teams, which sit within the Ministry.
