Kia ora Simon,

The information you have requested is withheld in full under the following
sections of the Act:

o Section 9(2)(b)(ii), where its release would likely unreasonably
prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied the
information;
o Section 9(2)(ba)(ii), to protect information that is subject to an
obligation of confidence and making it available would likely damage
the public interest; and
o Section 9(2)(c), to avoid prejudice to measures to protect the health
or safety of the public.

I have considered the countervailing public interest in release in making
this decision and consider that it does not outweigh the need to withhold
at this time.  

You may be interested in a summary statement with information on the
COVID-19 vaccine procurement process and the nature of the commitments
made by the Government across all the contracts. The summary statement can
be found
here: [5]www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-releases/general-information-releases/summary-statement-new-zealand-covid-19-vaccine-procurement-process-and-contracts-suppliers  

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact the OIA Services Team
on: [6][email address]

Dear OIA Requests,

Here is my response to your reply.

Section 9(2)(b)(ii) It is clear that this position was corrupted in the
undertaking and the commercial position is exactly what needs to be
exposed to the public, for common good.
Section 9(2)(ba)(ii) as mentioned above, it is in the public interest that
this is exposed so it does not or cannot be repeated in the future.
Section 9(2)(c) this is exactly why it needs to be exposed to protect the
health or safety of the public.

None of these sections are a defence against exposing the corruption and
harm that has occurred to the New Zealand public. Please action my
original request. 

Yours sincerely,

Simon Greig
