Shared Services

What is BOPLASS

Kawerau District Council is a shareholder in BOPLASS Ltd, a Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) owned by the eight councils in the Bay of Plenty Region. It has been set up to foster shared services between local authorities in the Bay of Plenty/Gisborne Regions and elsewhere.

Objectives of BOPLASS Ltd

Working together with the full support and involvement of staff, BOPLASS provides benefit to Councils and their stakeholders through improved levels of service, reduced costs, improved efficiency and/or increased value through innovation.

These benefits are achieved primarily through:

• Joint Procurement
  Being the procurement of services or products by two or more Councils from an external provider regardless of whether the service is paid for through BOPLASS or individually by participating Councils.
• Shared Services
  Being the participation of two or more Councils in the provision of a common service which may be jointly or severally hosted.
