Kia ora,

I apologise that your OIA is now late. It has taken longer than
anticipated to pull the response together but we will send a response as
soon as practicable. Unfortunately I can't give a specific date but I

Dear Peter McCall

Thank you for your follow up request relating to a previous Official
Information Act request, received by the Ministry of Health on 21 January
2016, requesting:

A follow up in response I received to a request made on October 17, 2015 -
reference: H20150 4928.

Michael Hundleby rejected the request for a copy of the particular
contract, citing s 9(2)(i) of the Official Information Act 1982.

Would the Ministry be able to explain in what way releasing the contract
would 'prejudice or disadvantage' commercial activities?

I would note that my initial request specified that no dollar values need
be included - and that a similar request made to the NZTA was successful
and a redacted version of a similarly tendered contract was made
available.

Apologies for the delay in issuing this acknowledgement.

This request has been received and logged.

Please find your lodgement details below:

You should receive a response on or before 4 March 2016

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201600322

As required under the Official Information Act 1982, the Ministry will
respond to your request within 20 working days.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in Section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

Kind regards,
