The agency in question, Kane Crowe Kavanagh (KCK) was appointed following a competitive tendering process to carry out an independent review of my Department's policies and procedures for the provision of temporary classroom accommodation. The review is ongoing and will, inter alia, cover an examination of the contract terms with providers to incorporate buy out, buy back, rental costs and relocation options if local circumstances require it and the investigation of all existing rental contracts between schools and suppliers with a view to identifying action to reduce overall rental costs for my Department. I expect that the review will be completed by the end of 2009.
