2.26 From the start of the procurement to the commencement of negotiations with CMG, some of the documents produced by the procurement team required the approval of two and sometimes three specific members of the management board. Competing for the attention of these individuals were many issues relating to the governance of the Agency including progressing legislation for the auctioning of licences and relocating the Agency following the destruction of their headquarters in the London Docklands bombing in February 1996. Occasionally it took senior management months to approve documents. Between September 1995 to June 1996, the slow approval of documents, we estimate, accounted for nearly three months of delay (Appendix 3).
