Dear Samuel,

As consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such
that a response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit,
the University has extended the time limit for your request until 11
November 2025 under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. We will respond to your
request as soon as reasonably practicable.

 You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this extension.

Yours sincerely,

 

Landon Watt
Legal Advisor
Office of the Vice-Chancellor

Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland

Subject: Official Information request - What consulting companies is
Auckland Uni working with and how much are the companies being paid?

 

Dear University of Auckland,

 

Could you please provide a list of contracts the University entered into,
in 2024 and 2025, with external consulting firms; the topic of the work
undertaken (e.g., strategic planning); and the total cost of each contract
to the University?

 

The companies could include, for example, Nous Group, McKinsey, PwC,
Deloitte, and any other firms commonly referred to as "consultancies" or
"consulting companies".

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Samuel Mehr
