Kia ora,
Without being too prescriptive, I am referring to vendors that are conducting data cleaning, analysing data held by Ministry of Transport, building mathematical models, and/or developing algorithms for analytical or operational use, including through the use of statistical methods or machine learning.

Yours sincerely,
