Kia ora Ministry of Education,

I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding the Ministry of Education's policies, practices, and records related to supplier conflicts of interest.

Specifically, I would like to request the following information to enhance clarity and facilitate a more efficient response:

1. Supplier Conflict of Interest Policy:

• Please provide a copy of the Ministry of Education's current policy document that outlines the management of conflicts of interest involving suppliers.
• If the policy includes specific procedures or guidelines for identifying, declaring, managing, or mitigating conflicts of interest, please include these as well.
• Please also provide information on the consequences for failing to adhere to the policy, such as non-declaration or mismanagement of conflicts.

2. Registry of Supplier Conflicts of Interest:

• Please confirm whether the Ministry maintains a registry of conflicts of interest for suppliers.
• If a registry exists, please describe the process for recording and updating conflict of interest declarations.
• Please specify the types of information that are recorded in the registry for each declared conflict.
• Please clarify who has access to the registry (e.g., Ministry staff, the public) and how access is controlled.

3. Supplier Information:

• Please provide a list of the names of companies currently registered on the registry of conflicts of interest that have active contracts with the Ministry valued at over $30,000.
• For each company listed, please include the date the conflict of interest was registered and a brief description of the nature of the conflict.

Please send the documents electronically to my email address to this email address:

I look forward to receiving a response to this request within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days, as specified in the Official Information Act 1982.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Ngā mihi,

Adriana van Altvorst
