McKinsey
Dear Department of Defence,
I would like to request a copy of all reports / documents delivered by consulting firm McKinsey & Company to the Department since 1990. In addition, I would like to request a copy of each invoice paid to McKinsey for each report (including $ fees paid, rate card applied, and other commercial terms).
Given the recent, significant public interest in McKinsey due to their controversial activities in anti democratic or corrupt governments such as South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia (1MDB), I request that the FOIA request fees be waived.
Yours faithfully,
Andy Johnson

Dear FOI,
Thanks.
Understood that this will draw on resources.
I would like to to limit the request to the last 3 financial years and we can skip the invoices.
Yours sincerely,

Thanks Andy,
The time frame should be more manageable, however we still require further information to assist in searches.
Are you able to provide further details on:
* what the potential reports were for
* areas in the department that may hold these reports
Unfortunately we are unable to run searches covering the entire Department.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Matt Ashauer

Dear FOI,
Unfortunately I don’t know exactly what McKinsey have been contacted to do, hence the FOI request
Perhaps you could first go through procurement and release the list of consulting engagements they have provided over the years and then I can let you know what I am interested in. I would assume Defence has a single contractor panel for consulting engagements?
Yours sincerely,
Andy Johnson
