Answer

I am advised that the Ministry of Education undertook a search of the All of Government Consultancy Panel under the Policy, Research and Development subcategory. No New Zealand based provider was identified as meeting the requirement for independent, international education sector experience that was available to deliver the specific services within the timeframe required.
