Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I am requesting the following information regarding external consultants commissioned by the council for each of the three financial years (2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24):

1. Consultancy Engagements
For each engagement with an external consultant or consultancy firm during this period, please provide:
• Name of the consultant/firm
• Subject or scope of the engagement (e.g. digital transformation, housing strategy, finance review, organisational restructure)
• Cost of the engagement (total paid or contracted)
• Duration (from commission date to delivery date of final product)
• Department or team that commissioned the work
• Summary of final output or deliverable (e.g. report, strategy, assessment)
• Whether any internal review or follow-up was conducted
• Whether any value-for-money or impact assessment was carried out

2. Deliverables
Please provide a copy of each final report, strategy document, or other final deliverable resulting from these consultancy engagements, where available. Redactions may be made as necessary to protect personal data or commercially sensitive content, but full reports are requested under the public interest in transparency and spending accountability.
