OIAD-662 - Follow up request for information on consultant spend on ETS-related projects

Debbie Leota made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Debbie Leota to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Debbie Leota

Hi Ministry for the Environment,

I made an OIA request (your handle OIAD-662) in May 2023 which MfE responded to after 60 working days (20 working days plus a 40 working day extension).

MfE stated in its reply:

"I can assure you that the Ministry asks each supplier undertaking contract work with us to declare any conflict of interest in providing goods and/or services or entering into a contract with us. The Ministry informs all suppliers that they must do their best to avoid situations that may lead to conflicts of interest arising. Suppliers must inform the Ministry immediately if any conflicts of interest arise."

Please provide copies of all correspondence, documents, reports that:

1. MfE generated and, received from third parties, in responding to the OIAD-662 to evidence that assurance; and

2. outline MfE's policies and information about what constitutes a conflict of interest, that was provided to those contractors and consultants in order for them to make a proper declaration of a conflict of interest.

I would also be grateful if you could provide all relevant emails and documents that contain MfE's reasons that 60 working days were required to respond to that request.

Cheers

Debbie Leota
