Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

 

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

Good afternoon Shane,

 

I am contacting you in relation to your OIA request below.

 

We have sourced the data from our AP system and there are over 3,100
suppliers with some 800 being paid less than $1k (GST inclusive, if
applicable) in the period.

 

We have two questions

 

 1. Do you want the expense to be GST inclusive or exclusive? 

 

 2. Do you wish us to exclude small suppliers (eg less than $1k) from the
response?

 

Regards
