Thank you for your email of 4 February 2021 to the Ministry of Education requesting the
following information:
1. A list of vendors that have provided data science services to the Ministry of Education
in the last three years.
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
The Ministry needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by 6 working
days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a decision
on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made
within the original time limit. For this reason, you can expect to receive a response to your
request on or before 12 March 2021. I am hopeful that we will be able to respond to you before
this date.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension you have the
right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the timeframe. You can do
this by writing to
[email address] or Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box
10152, Wellington 6143.
Nāku noa, nā
