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 material that affect New Zealand’s capacity to undertake military operations.

The Capability Management System is about more than just acquiring military equipment. The system operates across all phases of the capability project life cycle from policy, to iden- tifying what is required to deliver it, and then purchasing, introducing, operating, and even- tually disposing of or replacing it. The people who make up this system come from both the Ministry of Defence and the NZDF. The aim of both organisations, working together, is to operate a Capability Management System that delivers the right capability on time and to budget using best practice in all activities. The two main categories in the Capability Management System are Defence-led and NZDF-led. What determines whether a proj- ect is Defence-led or NZDF-led is the level of scale and risk. All medium-level to high-level scale and risk projects are Defence-led and all low-level scale and risk are NZDF-led. CAPABILITY DELIVERY DIVISION The delivery of NZDF-led capabilities are managed by NZDF’s Capability Branch while the delivery of Defence led capabilities are managed by the Ministry of Defence Capabil- ity Delivery Division. Working closely with NZDF’s Capability Branch, 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.
