Dear Mr Prince

Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

In response to your request for information received at this office on
27^th February 2009, Bolton Council is happy to supply the attached
information:

The ICT output specification provided in response to this FoI request is
currently being used to guide the procurement of an ICT partner within the
joint Blackburn with Darwen-Bolton BSF LEP procurement. It was completed
as part of Blackburn with Darwen's Outline Business Case and is the
document that was issued at the start of the 'Invitation To Continue
Dialogue' phase of the procurement. Therefore it is the latest formal
position of the Authority. At that time, apart from Academies in Bolton,
the specific requirements of Bolton schools were not known and are not
included. Bolton schools are being consulted and, where their requirements
are additional to those already included in the body of the document these
will be added as Bolton's Outline Business Case is developed. It should be
noted that the procurement is for an ICT partner not for a specified list
of equipment so Bolton schools can be confident that their ICT
requirements will be met by the successful ICT provider.

Should you have any queries regarding this, please contact me.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Prince

Your request was submitted at 8.38 p.m. on 26 February 2009. It was therefore received by the Council the following morning i.e. on 27 February 2009, and so the deadline for answering it was 27 March 2009 i.e. last Friday.

We provided the information you requested this morning. I apologise for the fact that the information was provided a few hours after the deadline. The reason for this was that the officer who was dealing with the request was out of the office all of last week, and he completed the request on his return today.

If you would still like the Council's Monitoring Officer to carry out an internal review, please confirm this and we will of course set this in hand.

Yours sincerely
