Thank you for your email
of 5 August 2024 requesting the fol owing information under the Official

• Attachment 1: Quotes and Procurement

Certain information has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Act. This section al ows for the
withholding of information to protect the privacy of natural persons. Information has also been withheld
under section 9(2)(b)(i ) of the Act. This section allows for the withholding of information to protect
information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice
the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.
With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider there are any other factors
which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
withhold this information. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

welcome to contact the Ministerial Services team by email at
