Subject: Official Information request - How does the University make
procurement decisions?
 
Dear University of Auckland,

What is the University's process for procuring contracts for services?

For the period of 2021-2025, how many procurement contracts for services
did the University execute? Of those contracts, how many were subject to a
public tender?

If more than one contractor bids for a services contract, how does the
University select the winning entity? What employees and/or consultants at
the University are involved in the procurement process, and what is each
staff member's or consultant's role?

How does the University ensure that there are no conflicts of interest in
the award of service contracts? What financial disclosures, if any, does
the University require from members of the University executive? What
financial disclosures, if any, does the University require from other
employees or consultants involved in the procurement contracting process?

Do any of the current or former employees or consultants involved in the
procurement process, or anyone in a close personal relationship to a
current or former employee or consultant involved in the procurement
process, including but not limited to an intimate partner, a business
partner, a child, a sibling, or a close personal friend have a financial
interest in any of the contractors to whom service contracts were awarded
in 2021-2025? If so, what steps were taken by the University to avoid a
conflict of interest?

Yours faithfully,

CL Rainwater
