Management of Physical Documents

The request was successful.

Dear Committee on Standards in Public Life,

I am currently researching if any paper documents are currently being archived and would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, details in respect to the contract below.
The details we require are:
• Do you currently have any paper documents in storage?
• If any paper documents are currently being stored, would you consider having your documents securely scanned by a reputable UK secure scanning company?
• If all of your documents have been securely digitised, do you have any bespoke software to electronically access and manage scanned images?
• Who is the senior officer/s (outside of procurement) responsible for the management of physical records?
Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Acton
