From: Harris Leigh
Dear Statistics New Zealand,
Under the Official Information Act I seek information on
1) the number of times Statistics New Zealand has contracted services from or otherwise engaged Mr Doug Craig either directly, through RDC Group, or through any other mechanism such as temporary employment contract or engagement through another company.
2) the number of times Statistics New Zealand has contracted services from or otherwise engaged RDC Group.
3) the total quantum paid to Mr Craig and RDC through the engagements mentioned in (1) & (2). Given the potential for commercial confidentiality, I am happy for you to redact hourly rates, it is the total quantum paid that I am seeking.
4) For each engagement identified whether or not the engagement was by a competitive market process.
5) Whether Mr Craig was engaged (in any manner) to provide services to Stats NZ when Stats NZ chief executive Mark Sowden announced Mr Doug Craig of the RDC Group had been appointed to undertake an investigation 5 June 2024.
6) Information about the competitive market process that led to Mr Craig being engaged to undertake the investigation announced by Mr Sowden on 5 June 2024. In the absence of a competitive market process, any information held by the Stats NZ on the selection process that led to Mr Craig being selected for this project.
For requests 1, 2 & 3 please take the time frame as being from 1 July 2019 until now.
For the current financial year I am happy to receive figures from 1 July 2023-30 May 2024.
Nga mihi
