Information and audit access

Concessionaire shall provide to the Authority's Representative all information, documents, records and the like in the possession of, or available to, Concessionaire (and to this end Concessionaire shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that all such items in the possession of the Concessionaire or any Service Providers shall be available to it and Concessionaire has included, or shall include, relevant terms in all contracts with the Concessionaire or any Service Providers to this effect) as may be reasonably requested by the Authority's Representative for any purpose in connection with this Agreement.

For the purpose of:

(a) the examination and certification of the Authority's accounts; or

(b) any examination pursuant to [Section 6(1) of the National Audit Act 1983] of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which the Authority has used its resources,

the Comptroller and Auditor General may examine such documents as he may reasonably require which are owned, held or otherwise within the control of Concessionaire (and Concessionaire shall procure that any person acting on its behalf who has such documents and/or other information shall also provide access) and may require Concessionaire to produce such oral or written explanations as he considers necessary. To avoid doubt, it is hereby declared that the carrying out of an examination under [Section 6(3)(d) of the National Audit Act 1983] in relation to Concessionaire is not a function exercisable under this Clause.

Concessionaire shall provide and shall procure that its Sub-Contractors shall provide such information as the Authority may reasonably require from time to time to enable it to meet its obligations to provide reports and returns pursuant to regulations, directions or guidance applicable to the Authority or as required by external agencies including, without limitation, reports and returns regarding the physical condition of buildings occupied by the Authority, health and safety, under the firecode, relating to environmental health and to comply with [requirements for the provision of information relating to achievement of customer service targets].
