Dear Mr Carmichael
I need further clarification on what costs are referred to in your
request. For example
1. With regards to service provision, do you need costs relating to
purchasing, staff hours etc, or costs relating to support only or
procurement.
2. In relation to cost of activities, do you mean the amount we pay
to the provider on an annual basis, the initial cost or the cost of
operating it which will include all the internal costs?
Once we receive your clarification, we will consider your request and
respond to you within the statutory timescale of 20 working days.
If you have any queries, please contact me.
