Extract of Accounts Payable Summary Spend Information

Shane Gibson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

The request was successful.

From: Shane Gibson

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

"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
