Yes.
(a) McKinsey & Co.
(b) The engagement with McKinsey & Co has progressed under three phases:
17 November 2014 – 26 December 2014
11 January 2015 – 12 March 2015
9 March 2015 - 15 June 2016
(c-d) Individual contract values are commercial in confidence. Public disclosure of these values would adversely affect the commercial interests of Synergy specifically its capacity to negotiate contracts and fee for service arrangements with consulting firms in the future, that deliver the best commercial outcome for the business.
