Dear Ms Bowater,

 

Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, which we received on 24^th November 2016. Your
request was set out as follows:

 

“Please could you provide the following information in relation to

6. Manufactures name, model name and numbers of install base.”

 

We have tried to deal with each of your queries in turn below. Please note
that the information supplied relates to our networked printers and
photocopiers, which are multi-functional devices:

 

 1. Channel 4’s current supplier is Canon via Computacenter- our third
party supplier of IT infrastructure services. The current contract
runs until June 2021.
 2. Canon via Computacenter
 3. The contract term is 5 years
 4. * See below
 5. Our current 5 year contract with Computacenter was a renewal of a
previous contract
 6. Canon 3030 and 5030

 

*In regards to your request for the annual spend on this contract, we
consider details of Channel 4’s annual and total spend on our contracts to
be highly commercially sensitive.  Accordingly, we can confirm that it
would not be in the public interest to prejudice Channel 4’s commercial
interests by disclosing the spend on our contracts with third parties, as
this would indicate to suppliers the likely funds available for specific
service agreements and could then be used by suppliers as a bargaining
tool when negotiating future rates. 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, we can confirm that Channel 4 is a public
service broadcaster funded solely from commercial activities. We do not
receive any public funding and most of our revenue is generated from the
sale of advertising and sponsorship. Accordingly, we can confirm that no
public money has been spent on this contract.

 

Please note that if you are unhappy with the decisions made in relation to
your request from Channel 4 you may ask for an internal review. If you
wish to do this you can email us, or you can write to FOI Admin Team -
Complaints, Channel 4 Television, 124 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2TX.

 

Many thanks for your interest in Channel4.

 

If you have any queries about this email, please contact us.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

FOI Admin Team
