We have carefully considered your request for the disclosure of the contract value/costs and confirm that the information is held. However, the College is withholding the information since the College considers the data to be commercially confidential and that an exemption under Commercial Interests, Section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies. The College considers that the public interest in the information is outweighed by the exemption under Section 43(2) as disclosure would weaken the College's position in gaining the most cost effective and competitive price available.

How much did you pay for the printing?
