The University's Careers Services' business expenditure

The request was successful.

Dear University of Bedfordshire,

Could you please provide me with the following information regarding the University’s Careers Services and its business relationships with private ltd companies?

For the academic years 2016/17 OR 2017/18:

• What was the total expenditure budget of the University’s Careers Services (excluding operational costs such as salaries)?
• How many private ltd companies did the University’s Careers Service do business with?
• Approximately how much did the University’s Careers Services spent on acquiring products and services from third-party private companies?
• How much did the University’s Careers Services spend on careers literature (booklets, leaflets, handouts, etc.) provided by Graduate Prospects ltd?

Many thanks!

Mark McCaree

Dear Legal Office,

Thank you for getting back to me.

The academic year 2017/18, please.

Yours sincerely,

Thank you Mark,

Could you also please clarify what you mean by 'operational costs'?
Similarly, when you ask about companies we 'do business with', are you looking for information about potential employers and placement providers we work with, or do you solely want information about goods and services?

Kind Regards

Legal Office

Dear Legal Office,

Thank you for getting back to me.

- I was seeking information on the specific budget that has been assigned specifically for the purchase of products and services from third-party companies (e.g. careers literature, computer programs, etc). Not the whole Careers Services budget which may include salaries, etc.
- I was only referring to the companies from whom the University's Careers Services purchased their products and services from. Not events or other business interactions.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yours sincerely,

Mark McCaree
