Kia ora J Floyd,

 

Given the series of your recruitment related OIAs to date have been
regarding NZTE’s Investment team, we are seeking to refine the scope of
one of your points, “Can the legal team at NZTE please confirm that all
signed contracts for external recruiters have been stored and maintained.”

 

Can the scope of this request be refined to, “Can the legal team at NZTE
please confirm that all signed contracts for external recruiters related
to the NZTE investment team have been stored and maintained.”

 

Please let us know your thoughts on the above suggestion.

 

Many thanks,

Lauren

Kia ora J Floyd,

 

Thank you for earlier confirming the refining of the scope of the request
to the NZTE Investment team.

 

I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE regarding our
external contracting process: storage of contracts.

 

We are currently working through your request and consultation is
required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your
request from 25 May 2023 to 6 June 2023. We will endeavour to respond to
you sooner, with 6 June 2023 being the latest date for a decision. This
extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary
to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Lauren

Dear Lauren,

 

I hope that the legal team could confirm that more broadly!  But in this
instance, yes, please reduce the scope of the request to the NZTE
Investment team.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

J Floyd
