9943 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Education

9943 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Education: What communications, public relations, or reputation management contracts, if any, have been entered into by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, supplier, contract value, contract start date, and purpose?

Hon Erica Stanford: The information sought by the Member is not held centrally, or collated by the Ministry of Education in a way that is readily reportable in the timeframe available to respond to written parliamentary questions. I am advised that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and the Education Review Office have not entered into any communications, public relations, or reputation management contracts since 27 November 2023. Education New Zealand (ENZ) has nil spend in New Zealand for communications, publication relations or reputation management contracts, since 27 November 2023. For the 2024/25 and current financial years, ENZ is unable to collate information for contracts in our overseas markets within the time frame available to respond to this question. Contracts entered in the 2023/24 financial year can be found in ENZ’s written 2023/24 Annual Review responses to the Education & Workforce Select Committee.
