“The Government Chief Information Officer (GCIO) Assurance Services Sub-panel will ensure agencies receive high-quality, consistent, independent assurance information to help them make better informed decisions,’’ said Tim Occleshaw, Government Chief Technology Officer (GCTO).

The GCIO is responsible for providing confidence to Ministers that ICT risks are being identified and well managed by agencies and across government as a whole, and that the benefits of ICT investments are being delivered.

The GCIO Assurance Services Sub-panel sits under the Assurance sub category of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) All-of-Government (AoG) Consultancy Services Panel.

GCIO Assurance Services will be offered in five categories and agencies will have a choice of providers that will be easy to access. The GCIO Sub-panel will provide real value for money and increased efficiency because agencies won’t need to undertake lengthy procurement processes or maintain their own panels.

Panel members are Ascendo, Beca, Caravel Group, Central Regions Technical Advisory Services, Equinox, Ernst & Young, Gemtech Solutions, Genesis Consulting Group, Grant Thornton New Zealand, IntuiSec, IQA New Zealand, KPMG, Link Consulting Group, Outcome Insights, Resultex, PricewaterhouseCoopers New Zealand, Starfish Consulting, Techspace Consulting and Tenzing.
