Kia ora J Floyd,

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 request (the Act) to
NZTE, received 12 June 2023 requesting:

 

Further to my prior requests:

When did the new contact management system noted come into place?

 

Please provide the information both in absolute numbers and dollar
amounts:

- How many contracts has Agency 6 had over the last 5 financial years
(i.e. to match the $466,709.20)?

- How many of Agency 6's contracts or equivalent (e.g. emails) are in the
new system?

- How many of Agency 6's aren’t?

- How many of Agency 6's engagements does NZTE not have a record of
(either a contract or the email confirming appointment)?

- Of the engagements NZTE has records of, how many are a signed contract
and how many have another method of appointment?

 

With regard to the exclusion of Agency 6's contracts from the management
system, how often has each rationale been used to exclude contracts:

- "highly confidential" (presumably for empty roles that are being filled
that are highly confidential)? or

- "personal information" (somehow included in a contract for the
appointment of a role when the role hasn't been filled yet)

 

Who judges the criteria for exclusion - the NZTE legal team or person
engaging the contract?

 

Finally, which team provided the information that lead to the misstatement
about contracting being provided to my previous query?

 

In accordance with the Act, NZTE will make a decision on your request as
soon as reasonably practicable and within 20 working days of 12 June 2023.
The latest date for a decision on your request is 10 July 2023.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Lauren

Kia ora J Floyd,

I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE regarding external recruiters and contracting processes.

We are currently working through your request and consultation is required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your request from 10 July 2023 to 7 August 2023. We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 7 August 2023 being the latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

Ngâ mihi,
Lauren
