E: capability@nzdf.mil.nz P: +64 21 902 814 NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE PROCUREMENT RESPONSIBILITIES The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) share ac- countability for the Defence Capability Man- agement System; the personnel, equipment, platforms and/or other materiel that affect New Zealand’s capacity to undertake military operations. Defence has long planning cycles, particularly for larger capabilities. The Defence Capability Plan 2019 forecasts future investment of up to $20 billion new and upgrade capability, includ- ing replacement of all of the NZDF’s major plat- forms and re-capitalising the Defence Estate. In August 2018, the terminology describing capability projects changed. The two main categories in the Capability Management System are Defence-led (formerly ‘Majors’) and NZDF-led (formerly ‘Minors’). What de- termines whether a project is Defence-led or NZDF-led is the level of scale and risk. All me- dium- to high-level projects are Defence-led; and all low-level are NZDF-led. CAPABILITY DELIVERY DIVISION The Capability Delivery Division’s multi-disci- plinary teams define, develop and deliver mili- tary capability for the NZDF, which meets the New Zealand Government’s Defence policy objectives. Working closely with the NZDF’s Capability Branch (see below), the Division’s mission is to acquire the military capabilities needed by the NZDF and ensure that they can be integrated and supported through- life. Project Teams in the Capability Delivery Division are a mix of MOD project manage- ment leaders and professionals and NZDF subject-matter experts. They are responsible for problem definition, arriving at a preferred solution, source selection, and contract ne- gotiation and management. Industry liaison takes place through this team.
