Dear Mr Varns,

We refer to previous correspondence regarding your request for information
relating to: IT Print and PC Supplier.

The information is attached with reasons for omissions given below:

The amount of print volume and amount spent on print annually give the
price that a competitor charges for printing.  Section 43 of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 exempts information which would prejudice the
commercial interests of any person.  A Public Interest Test was conducted.

In favour of providing the information

The presumption in favour of providing the information.

The benefit of the council being open about the way in which public money
is spent.

In favour of withholding the information

Commercial companies will be disadvantaged if their prices for successful
tenders are revealed.  This may lead to either unrealistic tenders or
companies not applying for tenders with the council.  This would lead to a
less satisfactory tender process with inadequate competition.

We are therefore withholding this information.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response,
quoting the above reference number, via email at: [North Kesteven District Council request email] or
by post to North Kesteven District Council, Corporate and Customer
Services, Kesteven Street, Sleaford, Lincs, NG34 7EF.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted through their
website www.ico.org.uk, by email to [email address], by telephone
0303 123 1113 or in writing to Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours faithfully

Graeme Napier
