Information on Current Property Management Solution

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

Dear Lancashire County Council,

I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, the following:

• If any, the name of the software solution(s) used to manage your corporate property/assets including facilities management (CAFM).
• Who are the current supplier(s)?
• What was the actual contract value(s) of each contract?
• Start date & duration of the contract.
• Is there an extension clause in the contract(s) and, if so, the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether the contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?
• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

John Anderson

Dear Mr Anderson,

 

Request for Information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000)

 

We refer to your request for information, made under the provisions of the
above Act.

 

After conducting our initial investigation it has become clear that we
require clarification from you. Section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information
Act states that a public authority is not obliged to comply with a request
for information in situations where it requires further details in order
to do so. 

 

As such, to enable us to process you request, please see below the
clarification required:

Request:

 

Information on Current Property Management Solution.

 

• If any, the name of the software solution(s) used to manage your
corporate property/assets including facilities management (CAFM).

 

• Who are the current supplier(s)?

 

• What was the actual contract value(s) of each contract?

 

• Start date & duration of the contract.

 

• Is there an extension clause in the contract(s) and, if so, the duration
of the extension?

 

• Has a decision been made yet on whether the contract(s) are being either
extended or renewed?

 

• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this
contract?

 

Clarification Required:

 

Please can you specify if the Property Management Solution is related to
the property and asset management system that we use (IT software only) or
is this with regards to the physical provision of property management
services e.g. provision of cleaning services, manned security, reactive
plumbing, electrical repairs etc.

 

Your request will now be placed on hold until we hear back from you.

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

On Behalf of the Information Governance Team
