Second contract with V4 Services Ltd
Dear Cambridgeshire County Council,
Background
In November 2018 two internal audit reports on the use of consultants were presented to members of the Audit & Accounts Committee at Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) (https://cambridgeshire.cmis.uk.com/ccc_l... - Agenda Item 7).
The second report (Appendix 2) – was entitled “Internal Audit Review - V4”. It was about the council’s commercial relationship with V Services Ltd – a consultancy incorporated in 2008 by four senior officers at Peterborough City Council (including the Deputy Chief Executive). V4 Services was introduced to CCC in 2015 by its new Chief Executive shortly after her appointment to the role. CCC’s CEO is also the CEO of Peterborough City Council.
FOI request
On page 6 of the Appendix 2 report (section 4.2) reference is made to a “second contract with V4 Services dated 1st April 2016”. Please send me an unredacted copy of that second contract.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Rowson
