Dear Mr Connely

REQUEST UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000

In response to your question(s):

I would like to request a complete list of suppliers/contractors and consultants that have been used over the past year when procuring I.T hardware and the total spend on I.T hardware during the past year. Also could you break this hardware spend down to show what brand servers, networking and desktop hardware were purchased with a spend amount in each segment.

I would also like to request full details of the person(s) who conducts the I.T purchasing there.

A .1 Complete list of Suppliers/Contractors/Consultants used over the past year:

Please find attached a detailed list of all I.T equipment purchased in the past year. Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust Procurement Team in I.T does all the purchasing for I.T equipment. The Trust utilises either OGC or PASA Frameworks for IT purchasing and if you would like to contact them directly for supplier price lists etc they can be contacted via the following websites:
