Official Information Act Request
Thank you for your request under the official information Act 1982 to the Social Wellbeing Agency on
9 May 2023 for information about annual supplier payments. You requested:
I would like an extract of the annual amount spent with all suppliers for the 2021/2022 financial year.
I would like this data in an open format, csv or json formats would be suitable.
I would like the following details provided:
- Supplier Name
- Suppliers NZBN number (if available)
- Total Amount Spent
Please provide the GST Exclusive amount spent.
I believe this information would be readily available via an extract from your Accounts Payable
system.
I have already received similar data from a number of Government organisations, which implies this
information can be treated as open data.
Please find attached as Appendix 1 the Social Wellbeing Agency’s expenditure for external vendors in the
financial year of 2021/22. As requested, this has been provided in the csv format. Please note that the
Social Wellbeing Agency does not record suppliers NZBN number, so this information is not included.
If you are not satisfied with this response, you have a right to seek an investigation or review by the
Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or by calling 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, will be proactively published on our
website 30 days from today.
