Mr. John Crawley:

Therefore, it will be out of contract. By the way, this service is now terminated.

The view of the authority over the years, in particular, 2010 and 2011, was that notwithstanding the fact that the numbers of staff were going down, there are, unfortunately, complicated IT systems in the authority. Extracting records from those systems was important to us. There was not a clear path in terms of the design or the architecture of that system and we needed the corporate memory of the company to assist us in fully understanding what records were held on the system. The committee will recall that we had a major litigation where we had a discovery order served on us that we had to comply with so it was not going to be to our advantage to change the supplier, unfortunately, and therefore we did not re-tender that contract. We scaled it down over 2013. Now we have the systems documented, we have the systems audited and the IT function in the city council is now in a position to take over the custody of those records and the remaining operation.
