FOI request detail

Call-off contracts

Request ID: FOI-0081-2122
Date published: 06 September 2021

You asked

I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector. I have identified some potential call-off contracts awarded by Transport for London but I can't find details of the framework agreement they were awarded from. I have attached an Excel file that contains the information I am looking at. The last two columns ("Title of Framework used" and "TED or CF url") is where I am missing information - please could you fill these in with the title of the framework agreement award notice and a TED or Contracts Finder url where I may find this. If the call off is through a framework with multiple versions (e.g. G Cloud, Digital Outcomes and Specialists), please specify which iteration of the framework was used. I have provided the title, description, award date, supplier(s) awarded, details of the email contact from the notice, the value of the contract and procedure type used to award each potential call-off as well as a url link to the call-off in question and unique reference ID for each potential call-off. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to complete the request. I have organised the information by the date the contract was awarded. If you do not feel like this request could be completed in good time, please could you work down the list and do as much of a subset as you can?

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked: I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector.

Please find some of the requested information in the attached spreadsheet. We have provided as much information as we have available. A lot of the information you have requested is too old and as such we don’t have access to it unfortunately. Where we have been unable to access the direct link from the OJEU for the respective notice, we have provided copies of documents that we hold. Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’. This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption. If you are considering submitting a further request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI/EIR requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation. If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed. Yours sincerely Eva Hextall FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
