Additionally on 3rd of June 2022 the Ministry responded to another OIA
request by reference number H202116873/ 574313 :
"The Ministry issued a closed request for proposal (RFP) in mid-July to
vendors identified by the Department of Internal Affairs. MATTR was

related to document signing."

Request:
