Request under the Official Information Act 1982 - External contractors/consultants hired by Wintec
under Pouārahi Māori Directorate team
Thank you for your email of 1 December 2023, requesting the fol owing information from Wintec ǀ
Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skil s and Technology (Te Pūkenga):
I would like to request a breakdown of external consultants/contractors hired to undertake work
for, or on behalf of, the Wintec Pouārahi Māori Directorate team, throughout the period 2021-
2023 (inclusive and to date) by name or name of organisation, the purpose of the contract, the
total amount paid for the contract and title of the staff member the contractor/consultant was
responsible to.
On 18 January 2024 we sent you notification of an extension to the time period for making a decision
on your request to 5 February 2024. This letter provides a formal decision on your request under the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
Background
As previously advised, the fol owing business units fal under the reporting lines of the Pouārahi
(Executive Director Māori, Quality and Academic) Wintec ǀ Te Pūkenga:
• Product Development
• Māori Pacific Trade Training
• Māori Achievement Unit
• Oire Pacific
• Te Kete Manaaki (Manaaki Pūkenga, Te Niho and Manaaki Ākonga)
• Quality Assurance Unit
• Regional Delivery
The decision
The information you have requested is attached at
Appendix One.
We have decided to withhold the names of individual contractors and kaimahi (staff), under section
9(2)(a) of the OIA,
to protect the privacy of natural persons. We have instead applied letters A-F to
entries under the column titled
Name of contractor/consultant or organisation where it applies to an
individual contractor rather than a company or organisation. We do not believe the need to withhold
this information is outweighed by the public interest in its release.
Please note the contractor/s listed in
Appendix One include mixed provision services to Wintec ǀ Te
Pūkenga, including, but not limited to business analysis and staff training. We have included all
contracts pertaining to Pouārahi Māori applicable to your request as we have interpreted it.
The Appendix does not include contracts specific to quality assurance activities or programme
unification (i.e. product development and programme approval processes) services. These are Te
Pūkenga-wide services, not work that is undertaken solely for the Wintec Pouārahi Māori Directorate
team.
You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the OIA if you are
not happy with this response. Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by cal ing 0800 802 602.
