To Paul Ellis
Response to FOI request 391
I am writing in response to your request for information about Research Contracts which you requested on 4th March 2009
“Do you hold information which is publicly available on research
contracts which have been let to companies, contractors etc...?
I need to see the name of companies, value of contracts, title of
contracts, the winning proposals, for the last 2 years?”
]
On 12th March we agreed with you that we would provide details of the Contract Titles, the Supplier and in some cases the Contract Value. A copy of that information is enclosed.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote any reference number given above in any future communications.
If you are not satisfied with my handling of your request please tell me why within two calendar months of the date of this letter. I will then arrange for someone to conduct an internal review of your request and the handling of it. The review will be conducted by another officer, usually of a more senior grade to me. This person will have taken no part in the original handling of your request. You will be advised you of the reviewing officer's decision in writing.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner to look into the way your request has been handled. Please note that generally the Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have first exhausted DWP's own complaints procedure. The Commissioner can be contacted at:
