Dear Mr Walker, 
 
Freedom of Information Act Request Reference N0.: FOI/353/08 
 
I write in connection with your request for information, which has been received by the Norfolk Constabulary.  
I note you seek access to the following information: 
 
1.  Details of the general procedures involved in selecting external training providers for your 
organisation 
2.  Details of the tendering procedures involved in selecting external training providers for your 
organisation 
3.  Copies of the tenders issued for all training courses which were eventually won by Common 
Purpose 
4.  Copies of any and all contracts between your organisation and Common Purpose 
5.  Details of how your organisation audits the integrity and value of courses run by external 
training providers 
 
Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (2000).  You will 
receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, as defined by the Act, subject to the 
information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party.   
 
In advance of our response, I would like to point out that the Freedom of Information Act provides the public 
with a right to request access to recorded information held by the Constabulary.  If any of the information you 
have requested is not contained in a recorded format, the Constabulary is not obliged to create information 
for the purpose of responding to your request.  
 
We aim to respond to your request by the 9th September 2008. In some circumstances the Norfolk 
Constabulary may be unable to achieve this deadline.  If this is likely, you will be informed and given a 
revised timescale at the earliest opportunity. 
 
There may be a fee payable for the provision of the information you have requested.  If this is the case you 
will be informed, and the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment from you.  If 
you chose not to make payment then your request will remain unanswered. 
 
Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public authority in order to 
answer your query in the fullest possible way.  Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
