[FOI #7803 email]Dear Mr, Blair
Thank you for email of 8 February which ahs been dealt with under the
terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please accept our
apologies for the delay in replying.
Points 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 of your request have been refused under section
43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as it has been considered
to be commercially sensitive information.
The London Borough of Sutton has concluded that it would not be in the
public interest to disclose the information because disclosure would be
likely to prejudice the commercial interests of the London Borough of
Sutton by affecting adversely its bargaining position during contractual
negotiations which would result in the less effective use of public
money. Disclosure would also make it more difficult for individuals to
conduct commercial transactions with the London Borough of Sutton
without fear of suffering commercially as a result.
The remainder of your request applies to information that we do not
hold.
Yours sincerely
Andy Saulter
