Dear Mr Todd
FOI Reference No : FOI-20091/102520
Thank you for your email dated and received by my office on the 23 Nov 2009. You have requested
the following information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000:
According to information on the http://www.beatcrime.info/ website:
"beatcrime.info is a crime and incident mapping website...
developed by West Yorkshire Police, in partnership with West
Yorkshire Police Authority [and] was first launched in 2005..."
I am unable to find any technical details, costs or names of the
software contractors who built this service anywhere listed on the
websites.
Please may I be sent:
* the names and dates of the contractors/consultants who developed
and maintain the beatcrime.info crime map since 2005
* costs incurred by these contractors related to building and
maintaining the site.
* copies of the contracts signed with these suppliers.
Your request will now be considered and 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 some circumstances West Yorkshire Police may be unable to achieve this
deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest opportunity.
In exceptional circumstances, there may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and 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 a payment
then your request will remain unanswered.
Yours sincerely
Bronwen Salmon
