Dear Mark

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 8 Mach 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

This request is for New Zealand Government Procurement

 

On the New Zealand Government Procurement website there is a program
called “Procurement for the Future” that promises saving taxpayers
dollars. So I would like to ask:

 

A) How many staff are involved in the Procurement for the Future Program?
I would like information on the program team, not the whole department.

   1) How many are permanent/fixed-term and how many are contractors?

   2) What is the higher contractor rate and the lowest? As an example:
$100 for a manager and $60 for a EA. (Please specify the role and the
contractor rate)

  3) What is the monthly spend of program staff costs? (Only for the
program team)

  4) How much was spent on procurement for the future since the program
started?

 

B) There are rumours the program will create a new organisational
structure for the New Zealand Government Procurement. Is that correct?

   1) How many roles are proposed to being disestablished?

   2) How much will be department save with it?

   3) Would it increase or decrease the number of staff?

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us
via email [1][MBIE request email] or using the contact details below.

 

Nâku noa, nâ
