Subject: Official Information request - Government Procurement Rule 60 - Geospatial Information & Services

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

The proper management and use of geospatial data (location information) is critical across the economy; it is significant in determining high productivity methods to more efficiently resolve increasingly complex challenges. Everything happens (or will) 'somewhere'.

But procurement Rule 60 (3rd Ed) is in the process of being 'retired' (scheduled to be replaced by another Rule 60 on a completely different subject).

A Cabinet directive underpinned Rule 60 (3rd Ed) whereby a key intent was to introduce & encourage the adoption of formal standards (national & international) that will contribute over time to considerably improve the management and use of geospatial data, and contribute toward data infrastructure, and have entities collaborate, including with other significant holders of location-based information, including local government, Crown agents, academia and the private sector.

Please provide a copy of the 2010 Cabinet directive that underpinned Rule 60 (3rd ed).

Please provide a copy of any documentation that updated that Cabinet directive, or in any way signaled to Cabinet any reasons to change Rule 60 (3rd Ed). If Cabinet was not formally briefed, why not?

Please provide copies of any consultation (and communications), of any type/form, on the decision to retire procurement Rule 60, and in relation to any significant holders of location-based information situated in any local government, Crown agent, academia entity or the private sector.
