Dear University of Salford,
    
     Please provide a copy of your current Register of suppliers.
    
     Please also provide your procurement and tender procedures and
     reports, including details of procedures used for the acquisition
     of goods and services, and reports of successful tenders.
    
     The disclosure of this information has already been tested in the
     Information Commissioner's Office. In fact its publication should
     be part of your organisation's publication scheme and I am curious
     to know why I even have to file an FOI request for it as it ought
     to be automatically disclosed.
    
     Please see:
     http://www.ico.gov.uk/what_we_cover/freedom_of_information/publication_schemes/definition_document_universities.aspx

    
     If you would prefer to provide this information by making the
     relevant links on your website available to the public, (and not
     internal only) please say so in your response, and provide the
     URL's of all the relevant documents.
    
     Yours faithfully,
    
     James Brown
