Value for Money and Rationale for Piritahi/LEAD Alliance Contract Extension
Michael Fowler made this Official Information request to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Michael Fowler to read recent responses and update the status.
      From: Michael Fowler
      
    
    Dear Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities,
Please provide all reports, analyses, evaluations, and communications concerning the overall financial performance, cost-effectiveness, and value-for-money of the Piritahi/LEAD Alliance for the period from December 7, 2018 (Alliance inception) to August 31, 2023 (when the contract extension was signed).
This should include, but not be limited to:
• Independent reviews or health checks assessing the Alliance's performance and value, such as the BRS Consulting health check conducted in June 2022, including any recommendations or findings of dissatisfaction regarding cost performance or value for money.
• Board papers, Investment and Delivery Committee (IDC) papers, or management briefings that specifically discuss concerns regarding the Alliance's programme and cost performance, and the rationale for the decision to negotiate and subsequently extend the ACAPA (Alliance Civil Alliance Programme Agreement).
• Any cost-benefit analyses or value assessments undertaken during the contract extension process, particularly those that weighed the risks of continuing performance issues against the benefits of extension.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Fowler
