Official Information Act request
Thank you for your information request dated
2 May 2023.
You asked for 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”.
On Tuesday 9 May, you requested that we provide GST exclusive amounts.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).
Please find attached Appendix A, the Te Puni Kōkiri departmental expenditure for
vendors for 2021/22.
Providing the NZBN number for each supplier would require creation of new information
by extracting and matching the NZBN’s with existing data. The Act does not create an
obligation for agencies to create new information, and therefore I consider this part of
your request relating to the suppliers’ NZBN number to be outside the scope of the Act.
This information is available on the New Zealand Companies Register at
https://companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/.
I trust my response satisfies your request.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
response.

the response is sent to the requester. The responses published are those that are
considered to have a high level of public interest. We will not publish your name, address
or contact details.
