We are a distribution-and-components market, wholly import-dependent for GPUs and AI accelerators, in a global market whose fabrication is concentrated in East Asia [S-21][G-1]. Every accelerated computation in this country happens on silicon we cannot make, sourced through supply chains we do not control. This strand will not propose to fix that — it cannot be fixed at our scale. It will propose how to live with it well: procurement, partnership, and lifecycle discipline. — Danyl Frisk (chair)",

New Zealand has no domestic semiconductor fabrication: no fab, no plans for one, no realistic pathway to one — the capital cost of a leading-edge fabrication plant exceeds what this country spends on most infrastructure classes combined, and the global industry is concentrated in East Asia for reasons decades deep [S-21][G-1]. We are 100% import-dependent for GPUs and AI accelerators, permanently, and this strand's discipline is to treat that as a design constant, not a problem awaiting a heroic solution. What follows from a permanent dependency? Three things a small nation can actually control: how it buys (procurement), who it buys alongside (partnership), and how long it keeps what it bought (lifecycle). Those are our three workstreams. Anyone proposing a domestic fab line-item will be asked for their evidence, and there is none [S-21].",

Here is the pattern I see across government today: agencies, universities and research institutes each buy accelerators separately — small orders, spot prices, no shared framework, no aggregated demand signal. In a supply-constrained global market, a fragmented small buyer is the definition of a price-taker with no delivery priority [S-21]. The fix is boring and proven: all-of-government pooled procurement under framework agreements — aggregate demand across agencies and the research sector, negotiate as one buyer, and gain what scale we can actually assemble. Canada runs a pre-approved AI supplier list as part of its capability architecture [S-1]; the mechanics translate directly. And note the machinery already exists — the Government Procurement Rules accommodate framework agreements now [S-23]; this needs a mandate and an owner, not a statute. It is the single most deliverable instrument this strand can propose.",

Pool every agency and university in New Zealand and our aggregated accelerator demand is still a rounding error to the suppliers who matter — that is not defeatism, it is [S-21] arithmetic about a market whose fabrication base and allocation decisions sit in East Asia and with a handful of firms. The scale lever available to us is alliance procurement: Australia runs research-computing procurement cycles far larger than ours, and trans-Tasman joint purchasing — or at minimum coordinated cycles with shared framework terms — changes which queue we stand in. Beyond Australia, likeminded-partner arrangements on supply assurance are the same instrument at treaty scale. The comparator logic is already in our source base: small nations buy access and priority through partnership, not alone [S-1]. My position: partnership is not an add-on to pooled procurement; at our scale it is the load-bearing half.",

Accelerators are treated commercially as three-to-five-year assets — the vendor refresh cycle is a marketing artefact as much as an engineering one. What a small, import-dependent country can genuinely build is lifecycle capability: maintenance and board-level repair skills so mid-life failures do not mean shipping units offshore; extended-life operation, running last-generation silicon for workloads that do not need frontier performance (most public-sector inference does not); staggered refresh across the pooled fleet so no single supply disruption strands the whole estate; and a functioning second-life pathway from research frontier to teaching and development use [S-21][G-1]. None of this is glamorous. All of it converts a given import dependency into a longer, more resilient useful life per imported unit — which is the only sovereignty available to us on hardware.",

Alliance procurement is right in principle and slow in practice — trans-Tasman arrangements mean two governments' procurement law, two fiscal cycles, and negotiation timelines measured in years; and a joint framework hands our larger partner the senior seat in every allocation decision, which has its own dependency flavour. Domestic pooling, by contrast, is achievable THIS TERM under the existing Rules [S-23]: mandate, owner, framework agreement, done. My proposed sequence: stand up the domestic pool first — it is also the precondition for credible alliance talks, since a partner needs a single counterparty, not forty agencies; then negotiate the trans-Tasman layer from that consolidated position. Pool first, alliance second, as fast as the partner allows. That is not downgrading your instrument; it is ordering it so it can actually work.",

But hold the strategic point steady: a domestic pool without alliance diversification concentrates our entire estate on whichever vendor wins the framework agreement — we would be swapping forty small dependencies for one large one, on a supply base already concentrated to a degree our own trade reporting calls out [S-21]. So the sequence must carry an explicit second-stage commitment, not a vague aspiration: the framework agreement is written multi-vendor from day one, and alliance negotiations open within the first cycle, not after the domestic arrangement ossifies. Sequenced, yes. Optional, no. On those terms Charlotte and I are describing one instrument with two stages rather than two competing instruments.",

Domestic fabrication is explicitly excluded as fantasy at our scale [S-21].
