Tēnā koe James
Thank you for your email of 13 January 2025 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:

Breakdown of the $500,012 dollars spent over the last 3 years on workstation and posture assessments.
This should include:
1A
The number of assessments/consultations
1B
Cost of each assessment
1C
how many assessments/consultations were carried out per region/city
1D
number carried out on a per year and per month basis.
2A
Suppliers used
2B
The tender documents
3
Total costs if any, that were required after the consultation/assessment.
e.g. New keyboards, chairs, desks etc.

Under the terms of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, MBIE is deemed to a Person Conducting a
Business or Undertaking (PCBU), with obligations to provide care for its workforce. This requires us to
ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of our workers. You can read more about
the duties of a PCBU towards their workforce at WorkSafe’s website, at: www.worksafe.govt.nz/managing-
health-and-safety/businesses/general-requirements-for-workplaces/.
MBIE does not provide any posture training to its staff. As such, I am refusing your request in full under
section 18(e) of the Act, as the information requested does not exist.
Please see the answers to each part of your request as below:

Question 1A The number of assessments/consultations
Question 2A Suppliers used

Since November 2023, MBIE has contracted APM WorkCare to provide staff workplace assessments. APM
WorkCare is a provider of employment, disability, assessment, health and injury management services
across New Zealand. Prior to this, workplace assessments were provided by TBI Health Ltd which ended in
March 2024.

Please refer to the table below for a breakdown by calendar year of the total spend on workplace
assessments for MBIE staff since 2022, rounded to the nearest dollar.

(*Jan – Mar 2024)

When reading the column under the number of completed assessments, please note:

•  The figures in this table reflect the number of unique individual assessments per calendar year.
•  Workstation assessments can be simultaneously completed for multiple people, for e. g. where a
team has new staff with common start date or members of a team have been included in the
same session. However, the billing/invoice raised for these sessions can be on different dates
depending on when the sessions concluded. This means dividing the spend in a year by the
number of completed assessments will produce a rough average, but this table does not contain
information sufficient to determine the actual cost of any given session.
•  The cost per assessment can also vary according to the number of assessments carried out at by
the provider on a single day and the complexity of an assessment, considering any
pre-existing conditions a staff member has.
•  Because if often carries out assessments in batches when onsite, APM records assessments for a
group of people as single line item, noting a range of assessments completed (for example, 1, 2-5,
6-10, 11-15).
•  For each visit, the midpoint of the assessments for that session has been included (for example,
3.5, 8, 13). Our tally is the total of these midpoints, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Question 1B Cost of each assessment

The cost per assessment can vary according to the number of assessments carried out at by the provider
on a single day and the complexity of an assessment, considering any pre-existing conditions a staff
member has.

I am withholding the unit costs of each assessment type purchased by MBIE under section 9(2)(b)(ii) of
the Act, to avoid prejudice to the commercial interests of the source or supplier of the information
concerned.

This service was contracted by MBIE following a competitive tendering process, and the prices are
reflective of each company’s own work and methods, and we believe the release of this information
would cause TBI Health and APM WorkCare material disadvantage, where its competitors’ pricing
information is not on the public record.

In line with section 9(1) of the Act, I believe the public can be met with the summarised information on
page 2 of this letter.

Question 1C, 1D Breakdown of assessments by region/city and month/year

A breakdown of the data for the 12 months ending December 2024, by month and city is provided in the
table overleaf. However, I am refusing your request for a regional and time series breakdown of
2

assessments before December 2023 under section 18(f), due to the substantial collation to provide a
response. The source data for such a table is not held in a single location, and we would be required to
open and examine multiple documents and invoices to collate this information.

Question 2B Tender documents

I can confirm that this contract was subject to a competitive bidding process in the form of a Request for
Quotes from through the syndicated panel for Employee Health Management Services, run by the
Ministry of Social Development, which MBIE is signed up to.
The document refers to the terms and conditions of bidding through an RFQ, which can be found at
www.procurement.govt.nz/assets/procurement-property/documents/templates/rfq-terms-and-
conditions.pdf
You can also find more about this panel on the New Zealand Government Procurement website, at
www.procurement.govt.nz/contracts/employee-health-management-services/.
I am releasing to you a copy of the Request for Quotes document that we used to outline the services we
were looking for as Document 1, and a copy of the blank pricing template as Document 2. No information
has been redacted from these documents.
Question 3 Costs required after assessments
I am refusing this part of your request under section 18(f), as the requested information cannot be made
available without substantial collation and research. Decisions about the provision of specialist equipment
for staff are made at business unit level following a completed assessment, on the advice of a trained
occupational therapist, and the invoices for the purchases are recorded against the business groups that
purchased them. To collate the information you have requested, each individual MBIE branch or team
(depending on their size) would need to provide their own spending figures for inclusion in the response.
MBIE has over 6,000 employees and the work to compile this information would be extensive and place a
burden on departmental resources.

However, it is important to note that all equipment paid for by MBIE remains MBIE’s property, meaning
that a staff member’s needs may be able to be addressed through the provision of equipment on hand.

3

Decisions about purchasing equipment is based on variables such as:

•  the complexity of the needs of the staff member concerned
•  the advice of workstation assessment providers
•  whether the staff member already has their own personal equipment
•  best practice guidance around workplace safety; and
•  the amount of surplus equipment available onsite at the time.

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 www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802
602.

This opportunity
What we need
MBIE is a diverse organisation with a wide variety of job descriptions and associated health risks. Early
identification and management of dysfunction is critical to restore optimal work function. A majority of our
workers perform their role from workstations and can experience pain and discomfort syndromes due to
repetitive tasks. Workstation assessments are an important tool to ensure workers entering a new role or ACT
environment, or reporting an early pain or discomfort event, are supported and educated on effective work
setup and practices to resolve a problem and reduce risk of future health concerns. This can be
supplemented with activities such as educational resources, presentations/workshops and equipment
purchasing advice.
What we don’t want
MBIE is not seeking a generic ‘one-size-fits-al ’ product, but a modern solution designed and tailored
toward the needs of our organisation and workers.
INFORMATION
What’s important to us
To proactively manage signs of early pain and discomfort by reducing the risk of repetitive use or gradual
onset injuries to our workers combined with early and effective interventions when they present.
Why should you bid?
MBIE wil  be prioritising early pain and discomfort as a primary focus area through the next phase of its
OFFICIAL
health and safety strategy. This is an opportunity to evolve a Wellbeing initiative that has shown year on
year growth over the years.
THE
A bit about us
The Wellbeing, Health and Safety (WHS) team provides the WHS framework within which MBIE operates,
including the development of policies and procedures. The team supports MBIE workers through injury and
physical and mental il ness management, including helping people to return to work from lengthy
absences, as well as helping them through wellbeing issues, including bul ying and harassment.

SECTION 3: Our Evaluation Approach

3.1 Evaluation model
The evaluation model that will be used is weighted criteria (all criteria are of equal importance). Price

A ‘two envelope’ system wil  be used for the evaluation. This means that Respondents must provide al
ACT
financial information relating to price, expenses and costs in a separate sealed envelope/soft copy
folder. The evaluation panel will firstly score each Quote based on the weighted criteria listed below.
Quotes will then be ranked according to their scores. Following completion of the scoring the sealed
envelopes containing financial information will be presented to the panel. The panel will then assess
which Quotes to shortlist based on best value-for-money over the whole-of-life of the Contract i.e. the
scores and the total costs over the whole-of-life of the Contract.
3.2 Pre-conditions
Each Quote must meet al  of these pre-conditions. Quotes which fail to meet one or more will be
eliminated from further consideration.
