Ō2NL Local Business Engagement Session
• Date: Thursday 1 October
• Time: 5:30pm – 7:00pm
• Location: Te Huanui o Tararua | Ō2NL Project Office South, 82 State Highway 1, Ōtaki
The project team is hosting this session to give our local pakihi direct access to the people responsible for identifying, raising, and supporting procurement opportunities across Ō2NL.
Rather than formal presentations, the focus for the evening is on whakawhanaungatanga building direct relationships with project personnel and strengthening connections between our own Māori pakihi across the rohe.
We encourage you to attend to:
• Introduce your pakihi and capabilities directly to those managing project purchasing and procurement.
• Understand smaller Purchase Order-level work as well as larger formal tender and B2B pathways.
• Connect, collaborate, and share capacity with other local Māori businesses.
• Ensure our whānau businesses are visible, informed, and positioned for future opportunities.
While attendance does not guarantee project work, this is an important space for us to build relationships, raise our visibility, and better understand how project contracts are awarded.
We would love to see our pakihi well represented.
