A new procurement strategy is being introduced to change the way government buys goods and services and make it easier for businesses to access opportunities.
Government’s modernized approach to procurement will remove barriers for small, medium and Indigenous businesses; promote innovation; increase the focus on social, environmental and economic outcomes for people and communities; and enhance procurement capacity within ministries. The strategy also improves transparency in the Province’s purchasing processes.

SUDDEN DEATH.
A man named George Warren, a Polish Jew, died very suddenly yesterday evening. It appears that Warren was proceeding up Victoria-street, and when opposite Oxford Hotel he was observed to fall suddenly on the pavement. Some bystanders picked Warren up and carried him into the hotel. It was at once seen that the unfortunate man was suffering from a fit. As the man was evidently in a serious condition, a cab was forthwith procured and the man was driven to the residence of Dr. Hooper, in Hobson-street. Fortunately that gentleman was at home, and as the man was then too bad to move, Dr. Hooper went out to the cab and administered restoratives to him. The doctor also attempted to give the man some brandy in order to revive him, but the attempt was useless, and the unfortunate man died while yet in the cab. The body was then removed to the morgue, and as Dr. Hooper was not quite certain as to the cause of death, it was decided to hold a post mortem examination.
At 2.50 o'clock to-day an inquest was held at the Pier Hotel, when Dr. Philson officiated as coroner. Sergeant Kiely was present on behalf of the police.

THE DEATH IN A CAB.
THE INQUEST.
An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Pier Hotel, Albert-street, before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury of whom Mr. Arthur Eyre was chosen foreman, concerning the death of George Warren, the man who died in a cab in Hobson-street, on Friday night last, while in a state of unconsciousness, the particulars of which we briefly published in our issue of Saturday last. The jury having been duly sworn, and viewed the body, the following testimony was taken:—
Patrick Rooney, sailor, deposed that he resided at the Blue Post, Auckland, at present, and had known deceased since Christmas. Deceased was a cook, witness believed. Could not tell what countryman deceased was, but deceased had told witness he belonged to the United States. Could not say what his age was, but thought about 35 years. Witness last saw deceased alive on Friday evening, June Ist, at about half - past seven o'clock, in Victoriastreet, opposite the Oxford Hotel, and then in the cab in front of Dr. Hooper's in Hobson-street. Deceased and witness were walking together along Victoria - street, when suddenly deceased fell. Witness heard his head strike the pavement, Deceased had uttered no complaint. Witness had been in deceased's company from two o'clock on Friday afternoon. They visited one or two hotels, and the Greyhound Hotel, in Queen-street, where they had a glass of beer each. They then parted. Witness next saw deceased again about five p.m. in Queen-street. Both then went toether to Mrs. Cox's boardinghouse, in Patterson-street, Freeman's Bay. They had tea there. After tea they left the house, and walked up Victoria-street, and when opposite the Oxford Hotel, on the other side of the road, deceased fell. Witness picked deceased up at once. Deceased was not able to stand. Witness sat him up on the pavement, and although witness spoke to deceased the latter never replied. Witness gave a boy sixpence to go across to the hotel and get a glass of brandy, and he did so. Witness tried to give deceased some brandy, but could not say whether he swallowed any. They then carried deceased across the street to the Oxford Hotel. Deceased breathed heavily. The landlord suggested that the man should go to the Hospital, and a cab was got, and witness put deceased into it. They started for the Hospital, but on the way witness told the cabman to drive to a doctor's. They went to Dr. Hooper's residence in Hobson-street. Dr. Hooper came out and went into the cab to him. It was dark at this time. Dr. Hooper said the man was dying, he thought. The police came up and took charge of deceased, with Dr. Hooper. Witness was sober, and so was deceased.
Sarah Cox deposed she was widow of the late John Cox, sawyer, and kept a boarding-house in Patterson-street, Freeman's Bay. Witness had known deceased about eight months. Witness believed, having heard it, that deceased was a native of Canada. He had no employment while at witness' house. He "looked" for work. He never complained of being ill appeared to be healthy ; ate his food well, and slept well. He had not paid for his board, but owed for it all. He told her he was expecting money that was owing to him for work done at Ohora. Witness last saw him at half-past seven o'clock on Friday evening, when he had tea with the last witness. He appeared well then. Both were perfectly sober at that time. He had no luggage in her house, but had left it at his former lodging in Grey-street, at Mrs. Williams'. He was a quiet man, and was a cook.
Sergeant Kiely stated he did not know deceased. About ten minutes to eight on Friday, June 1, witness was on duty in Queen-street, when he was informed that a man was dying in a cab outside Dr. Hooper's, and witness was wanted at once. Witness went to the place immediately, but on arrival there Dr. Hooper told witness the man was dead. Witness then took charge of the body, and took it to the morgue. He searched the body and found in the pockets 5s 3sd in money, a memo, book, and sundry bills and receipts. Witness also produced a pint glass flask, containing half a pint of brandy, which he stated he had been informed was taken from deceased's coat pocket at the Oxford Hotel. There was no smell of liquor on the body. There was only a small cut on deceased's chin. It seemed recent, but there was very little blood about it, and witness understood it was caused when deceased fell down on the footpath.
Dr. John Henry Hooper said deceased was brought to the door of his residence in Hobson-street on Friday evening about half-past seven. He was at that time quite insensible, and moaning a good deal. He was propped up in the cab with his head hanging back. He was accompanied by Patrick Rooney. Witness saw he was dangerously ill, and thought he was dying. There was no pulse at the wrist. Deceased was helpless. Witness tried to administer some brandy and water, but deceased could not swallow. Witness then got some strong ammonia and placed it under his nostrils, but without any effect. Witness stayed with him till he died, which was a little before eight o'clock. There was a small wound on the chin, but no other marks of violence on the body. Witness had made a post mortem examination of the body, which was very muscular and in good condition. There were no marks of violence on the body except the chin wound. Witness first opened the chest. Deceased looked like a foreigner or Portuguese. He was not a Jew. Both lungs were quite healthy, but the pericardium containing the heart was full of blood. This proceeded from the rupture of a small aneurism of the ascending artery close to the heart. The rupture was small, which witness thought accounted for his living so long as he did. The blood seemed to have oozed. The rupture was about an eighth of an inch in diameter. There were several patches on the valves, and the heart was of abnormal size. The other organs of the body seemed healthy. The stomach was full of half-digested food—meat, potatoes, onions, etc. Deceased had evidently had a good meal. There was no smell of alcohol. The liver was all right. Witness thought the cause of death internal hemorrhage from the rupture spoken off. In reply to a question from the foreman of the jury. Dr. Hooper said it was quite possible for him to go about with such a rupture and think himself in good health. Numbers of people walked about with larger ruptures and did not know anything was the matter with them, and they fell down dead suddenly.
The jury returned a verdict "That deceased had died from natural causes."
