Dear Mr Ayub

Re: Freedom of Information Act (FOI)

I am writing in response to your e-mail on 17 December 2008 requesting information from the Trust under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

You asked for a complete list of contractors and consultants used by the Trust for new builds and refurbishments.

A copy of our technical consultancy framework is attached. This confirms the names of the organisations that provide services to the Trust in relation to the disciplines listed.

We are currently in the process of re-tendering our list of contractors. We anticipate that this process will be complete by April. If you would like a copy of the updated list at that point we can arrange to send you one. If you would like to take up this offer please make Mr Reed aware of this.

I hope the above information is helpful.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request then please write to Trevor Reed at the address shown above. If you continue to be dissatisfied you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner. Generally, the Commissioner cannot make a decision until you have exhausted the Trust's complaints procedure. Should you wish to contact the Information Commissioner you can do so by writing to The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Ross Langford

Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications
