67992 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: What was the procurement process used to buy for the new math resources for school?

Hon Erica Stanford: The Ministry of Education (the Ministry) recently held a closed tender to supply maths workbooks and resources to schools from the beginning of the 2025 school year. Due to the timeframes and urgency required to procure these resources, the Ministry approached a selected number of providers to ensure a rapid turn-around in commissioning the design, production and delivery of the resources. The providers approached by the Ministry were selected because their products were already working well in schools, as well as having a proven track record of supplying at a national scale.
