We are not obliged to provide you with the cost of some of these services as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 43(2). In this instance the section 43(2) exemption has been applied as disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice our commercial interests, as well as those of our supplier. There are other companies who provide similar services and disclosure of the price we currently pay could negatively impact our ability to efficiently procure services in the future.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, particularly where the expenditure of public money is concerned, but in this instance the public interest in ensuring that we are able to obtain the best value for public money outweighs the general public interest in increasing transparency of our processes.
Please provide a breakdown of payment and receipts, and provide information on a per-operator basis rather than combined totals.
We have provided breakdowns on a per-operator basis above, where possible.
If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely,
Melissa Nichols
