Tender awards

David Moore made this Freedom of Information request to Derbyshire County Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Derbyshire County Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Derbyshire County Council,

I believe that Tenders are won on a "Best Value" principal. I would
like to know how often the lowest bidder is awarded a council
contract? Please could you supply me with a list of Tenders
containing the highest bid, the lowest bid and the winning bid?

I understand that names of companies will need to be removed so
that commercially sensitive information will not be contained
within the report.

Yours faithfully,

David Moore

In order for the Council to process your request as expeditiously as
possible, I should be grateful if you would provide some additional
clarification. You have asked for a list of Tenders, but please could you
clarify whether, for example, you are seeking information relating to a
specific period, or Tenders relating to a specific type of matter.

Once we have received clarification from you, we will continue to process
