Decision maker:
Leader of the Council
Decision:
19 Feb 2019
Lead officer:
Matthew Rumble
Decision status:
Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 11/02/2019
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
Following the decision to investigate all the circumstances that led to the signing of a Conditional Land Sale Agreement with a private developer in 2013, in relation to West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates; there is an urgent need to appoint an investigative company and an eDiscovery company to conduct the investigation which in part involves processing historical electronic data held by the council.
The urgency arises from:
• The monthly cost of retaining historical electronic data which is costing the council £25,000 per month until its deleted;
• The need for a speedy conclusion of the investigation to allow savings to be realised and give the council control over the project costs; and
• The risk that further delay may have on the investigation and its outcomes arising from contractual and/or statutory liability limitation.
