Subject: Official Information request - Extract of Accounts Payable
Summary Spend Information

 

[You don't often get email from
[4][FOI #22584 email]. Learn why this is
important at [5]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

 

Dear Ministry of Education,

 

I would like an extract of the annual amount spent with all suppliers for
the 2021/2022 financial year.

 

I would like this data in an open format, csv or json formats would be
suitable.

 

I would like the following details provided:

 

- Supplier Name

- Suppliers NZBN number (if available)

- Total Amount Spent

 

I believe this information would be readily available via an extract from
your Accounts Payable system.

 

I have already received similar data from a number of Government
organisations, which implies this information can be treated as open data.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Shane Gibson

Tçnâ koe Shane

 

Thank you for your email of 27 April 2023 to the Ministry of Education,
that was updated 9 May 2023, requesting the following information:

 

I would like an extract of the annual amount spent with all suppliers for
the 2021/2022 financial year.

 

I would like this data in an open format, csv or json formats would be
suitable.

 

I would like the following details provided:

 

- Supplier Name

- Suppliers NZBN number (if available)

- Total Amount Spent

 

Please provide the GST Exclusive amounts.

 

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).

 

The Ministry regularly reports to the Education and Workforce Select
Committee relating to supplier spend as part of the Education Sector
Annual Review. These reviews are conducted at the end of each financial
year, and the next review is scheduled to take place in October 2023. Once
the information for the 2022/23 financial year has been finalised and the
review has been conducted by the Education and Workforce Select Committee,
you will be able to find the report on the Parliament website here:
[1]https://selectcommittees.parliament.nz/r....

 

To cleanse, verify and finalise the data for release outside of the
Ministry’s scheduled work programme would impose a significant
administrative burden on the Ministry. It is therefore necessary at this
time to refuse your request under section 18(f) of the Act, as the
information requested cannot be made available without substantial
collation or research. However, some information from the previous
financial year may be of interest to you. Information relating to
suppliers is contained in the Ministry’s response to Question 68 of the
2021/22 Annual Review, which can be found on the Parliament website at:
[2]https://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ....
Per your request, we are providing you with a copy of the table at
Question 68, Appendix 10 in Excel format, as attached.

 

Please note, we may publish this response on our website after five
working days. Your name and contact details will be removed.

 

Thank you again for your email. You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to
review my decision on your request, in accordance with section 28 of the
Act. You can do this by writing to [3][email address] or to
Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

 

Nâku noa, nâ,

Tçnâ koe Shane,

 

Thank you for your follow-up query asking for supplier types that have
been excluded from the Ministry’s response to Question 68 of the 2021/22
Annual review:

 

EXCLUSIONS

• Non-professional services outside of core business. For example,
cleaning services, registered trades, building security.

• Audit fees, actuarial fees and legal fees paid to a firm of solicitors.

• Outsourced services - service providers that have been contracted to
provide all or part of a business activity of function.

• Services received from other government agencies.

• Staff on secondment from other government agencies

 

This information on inclusions/exclusions in the data is publicly
available at the following link:

[1]https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/assets...

 

Please note: Our earlier response mistakenly included the wrong link to
accompany the 2021/22 spreadsheet provided. Please accept our apologies
for any inconvenience this may have caused.
