The government says it's going to put it’s money where its mouth is and try to make sure it spends cash locally.

From now on, it will also look to see whether other arms of government can provide services before spending public cash on outside contractors.
Treasury Minister Anne Craine says it’s a new approach that’ll be carefully overseen by both civil servants and politicians.
