Dear Chris,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 1 Sepetember 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘In 2013 PMCOE that I understand is now the Government Property Group was
looking to consolidate government agencies to save government money on its
huge property portfolio by negotiating bulk leases and cut amount of space
per worker.  Given this work was looking to be completed I assume analysis
would have been done around the governments rent roll, government floor
areas and requirements going forward.

 

Are you able to provide the following from 2010 - 2023

 

- Total government rent roll cost

- Total government floor area

 

During the procurement process there was also significant due diligence
done around seismic requirements and the like which saw agencies sign 15 -
20 year leases.  Are you also able to tell me the following

 

- Number of buildings where DD was done and seismic rating was okay, and
government has since said the seismic rating is not okay - eg MOE building

- Reason for seismic rating changing - updated regulations, agency wanting
a new building

- Total number of buildings that government are paying for but NBS ratings
are now deemed okay

- Total number of arbitrations, legal cases associated with the government
portfolio’

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 29 September 2023, being 20 working days after the day your
request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  

If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us
via email to [1][MBIE request email].
