Kia ora Sarah,

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 request (the Act) to
NZTE, received 15 August 2024 requesting:

 

It is my understanding that the organisation undertook a project to
digitise the various IGF processes etc, known as Project Propel. It is
widely known that this project is either in trouble or has failed.

Please supply the approved business case, and associated RFP evaluation &
decision information in respect to the project (vendor and staff names
should be redacted). Please supply all anonymous commentary from your
recent employee engagement survey in relation to this project and its
impact.

In a time of restraint, what was the return on investment (ROI) for this
project? If this is including within the business case, then great.

 

In accordance with the Act, NZTE will make a decision on your request as
soon as reasonably practicable and within 20 working days of 15 August
2024. The latest date for a decision on your request is 12 September 2024.

 

Ngā mihi,

Lauren

Hi Sarah,

 

I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE on Project Propel.

We are currently working through your request and consultation is
required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your
request from 12 September 2024 to 27 September 2024.

 

We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 27 September 2024 being
the latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section
15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Many thanks,

Maya.
