Dear Sue Moffatt,

Thank you for the interim response to my 20 October FOI request for
the contract and details relating to the police crime map.

I look forward to the issues over disclosure of the contract signed
with RKH being resolved in due course.

I do not expect Section 31 (Law enforcement) to be engaged as I do
not believe the system contains any sensitive information that
would make it a special target. Indeed, I would expect the website
to merely be a presentation of public statistics that are available
elsewhere in government reports in a less user-friendly form.

I do not expect Section 43 (Commercial interests) to apply if the
contract refers to the use of industry standard software available
to any other software companies. The commercial income due to RKH
from NPIA is unlikely to be threatened by disclosure of information
already known to the NPIA procurement unit -- which has authority
over the commercial payments.

For clarification, the "Terms of service" when applied to the
delivery of an on-line product such as this usually defines the
minimum up-times, response times, and quality of the data. It may
be part of the initial contract, or recorded in a separate
agreement. I would expect it to be something along the lines of:

"The website must be available 98% of the day, respond within 10
seconds of a user typing in their postcode, and be updated within 3
days of any police force publishing their statistics."

Such agreements are essential for obtaining a refund or
compensation if the contracted service is not supplied to the
appropriate standard.

Many regards,

Julian Todd

Dear Mr Todd

I am contacting you with regards to the response to your FOI request 46933.

Please be advised that your request is still being dealt with by the respondents in the appropriate department and the consultation process is taking longer than we anticipated, in which determining where the balance of the public interest lies is still undergoing evaluation.

Although we were planning to get a response to you by 1st December, we will require a further 10 working days to take a decision on where this balance lies and therefore endeavour to have a response to you by 15th December 2009.

We apologise for the delay in your response and any inconvenience this may have caused and will continue to keep you informed of the status of your request.

Regards

Dear Mr Todd,

Firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you, unfortunately the draft response has yet to be finalised, before sending off for approval, so I am afraid there is going to be a further delay with the response. Normally I would give a date when this is likely to be, however with the Christmas period coming up, as previous years have shown, this may run into the New Year.

If I get any details I will let you know.

Regards,

Andy Woodgate
