PFI Advisers - Conflict of Interest

The request was successful.

Dear Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council,

Which companies have advised your local authority on each of its PFI projects and contracts from inception, through procurement, during construction and operation on issues relating to structural, legal, financial, governance, audit and performance review. Please provide that information by each PFI scheme, providing the HMT unique reference number.

Please provide documentation demonstrating how your local authority selected the advisers referred to above? Please provide any internal or external process documents (e.g. from HM Treasury/ Partnerships UK) in relation to the selection, a copy of invitations to tender and tender documents.

Please provide documents demonstrating how your local authority, as part of that selection, ensured that the auditors and lawyers, accountants and business consultants referred to above were not conflicted in any way with any of the organisations involved previously or currently with your PFI project(s). This could include documents, statements and correspondence between the local authority and its auditors relating to any conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest.

Please confirm who you have appointed as external auditors for the year 2015/16 and provide all policies/protocols or any other documentation which demonstrate how you ensure that there is no ongoing conflict of interest in relation to these auditors.

Yours faithfully,

Roddy Ingles

Julie Elliott, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council
