My Department has a contract with a records management company for storage of the Department’s inactive files along with retrieval services for these files.

The contract is due for renewal now and my Department is engaged with the Office of Government Procurement in seeking tenders from suitable providers. As this process is ongoing it would not be appropriate at this point, to release the details requested. However, as soon as the new contract is signed, I will arrange for the information to be provided directly to the Deputy.
