Procurement of Contractors and Construction Consultancy Services

Dear Mr Grifiths,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST
Thank you for your request for information which I acknowledge was
received by the County Council on the 20 April 2010.

Your request is currently being considered. If the County Council is able
to provide you with the information you have requested, then under the
Freedom Of Information Act you are entitled to receive it within 20
working days.

For your information, the FOI Act defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent release of some or all of the information you have requested. The
County Council will assess your information request in light of the
exemptions. If exemptions do apply, then the County Council may decide
not to release all, or part, of the information you have requested. I
shall inform you if this is the case, and advise you of your rights of
appeal.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken by the County
Council as to whether to release the information to you. You will be kept
informed if this is the case.

Any information provided to you will be either in the format you have
specifically requested or by the same means in which the request was made.
However, If you require an alternative format, e.g. by e-mail, in a
different language, or in audio, large print, etc. then please let me
know.

The County Council will not charge a fee to provide you with the
information you have requested, provided the cost of dealing with your
request is less than *450. If it appears likely that your request will
cost more than *450 to deal with then I will write to you again asking if
you are willing to pay the fees incurred, and setting out clearly what
those fees will be, in accordance with the FOI Act.

If you have any queries or should you wish to make a complaint about the
manner in which your request is being dealt with then please do not
hesitate to contact me at the above address in the first instance. Any
complaints will be dealt with under the County Council's internal review
procedure.

Further information about your rights under the Freedom of Information
Act, is available from the Information Commissioner's Office (0303 123
1113) or [1]www.ico.gov.ukand on the County Council's website.

I will be in touch again shortly.

Your sincerely
