Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Request for information
regarding Recovery Office spending on sustainability consultants and
procurement of house relocation contractors.

Dear Auckland Council,

I am writing to request the following information under the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA),
specifically in relation to the Auckland Council Recovery Office.

1. Spending on Sustainability Consultants

Please provide details of any spending by the Recovery Office on
sustainability consultants over the past three years. I would also like to
understand which decisions, actions, or outcomes have directly resulted
from this consultancy work. If available, please include:

a. The names of the consulting firms and staff engaged

b. The scope of each engagement

c. The total cost of each engagement

A summary of any documented or measurable outcomes linked to the
consultants’ involvement

2. Procurement of House Relocation Contractors

Has the Recovery Office undertaken a formal selection or procurement
process for house relocation contractors? I understand that
demolition-related work under the Recovery Office typically falls within
the scope of the Council’s Demolition Panel. Accordingly, I would like to
know:

Whether the procurement or selection process for house relocation
contractors followed similar standards to those applied to the Demolition
Panel

Whether house relocation contractors are subject to any pre-qualification
or panel-based approval

What criteria were used to select or approve contractors engaged for house
relocations

For context, I understand that several established demolition companies
were not included on the Demolition Panel following a rigorous procurement
process, and I am seeking to understand whether equivalent scrutiny
applies to those engaged for house relocation work under the Recovery
Office’s oversight.

Yours faithfully,

John Smith
