Contracting and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The effect of the FOIA
All Public bodies have a duty under the Freedom of Information Act to respond to requests for information. This may require disclosure of information that is part of a tender/contracting process.
We are mindful of the potential commercial risks to our suppliers in the disclosure of information.
To assist we have produced a summary of possible enquiries that may be raised, under the contracting process, and the likely response that we will provide. This is available for viewing or downloading from the link to the right.
Additionally there is a frequently asked question (FAQ)section covering wider issues.
