The market briefing information on this page is presented by representatives of both the Ministry and the judiciary. These videos and presentations describe the objectives and outcomes the Ministry and the judiciary want to achieve through Te Au Reka and provide details about the procurement process for interested suppliers.
The RFP closed at 12 noon on Friday 2 December.
Te Au Reka will unlock new opportunities and different ways of interacting with courts and tribunals.
