Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you tell me if a company by the name of "The Campaign Company"
registration number 04275708 has undertaken any work for your
organisation since 23/08/2001?

If so, what was the nature of the work undertaken, was the work
satisfactory or met its targets and what was the total cost for the
undertaking of this work?

If said company has undertaken more than one piece of work with
your organisation can you give information for each case
individually?

Yours faithfully,

Gavin Starky

Dear Mr Starky,

I write in response to your FOI request:

We have undertaken a search of our corporate finance package. Sheffield
City Council has not placed any orders or made payments for work to a
company called 'The Campaign Company'. I trust that this answer fulfils
your request. Please get back to me if you require any further
information or clarification.

Dear Vickers Lyn (CEX),

Thank you for your prompt reply on this matter.

I wonder if I could refer you to claim made on their company
website:

" Sheffield City Council We are currently working in partnership
with Mouchel Parkman, a professional support services company
working with central and local government, public-sector agencies
and businesses to enable them to provide better everyday services
to people and their communities, to deliver an appraisal of the
future of the Douglas Road, Recycling Centre in Sheffield. The
Campaign Company is providing the community engagement and
consultation element to support the technical element being carried
out by Mouchel Parkman.

Our approach has been to engage with: • Site users - through
on-site surveys, depth interviews and focus groups • Centre staff –
through depth interviews • Local residents through doorstep surveys
and focus groups; and • Community stakeholders through public
meetings.

We have provided the Council with both quantitative and qualitative
data concerning the current usability of the site and the attitudes
to recycling of local residents and site users to inform the
Council’s decision making process."

It may be the case that any contractual agreements between
yourselves and The Campaign Company may be listed as going through
Mouchel Parkman. If this is the case, could you provide me with the
relevant information for Mouchel Parkman for the period that I
queried?

Yours sincerely,

Gavin Starky
