Dear Thomas Lilley
 
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 
Thank you for your request for information received on 21st October 2020.
 
Your request is being considered and, subject to the points made below,
you will receive the information requested as promptly as possible within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.
 
If we need to obtain more information from you in order to understand what
information you require, we will contact you. If this is the case, the 20
days time limit will not commence until your request has been clarified.
 
The Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of certain
information.  The City Council will consider whether any of these
exemptions apply and, where required by the Act, whether it is in the
public interest to release the information.  If we have to make a public
interest test, the 20 day time limit might be extended. We will inform you
if the time scale has to be extended and if any information is withheld
and of your rights of appeal.
 
The City Council would like to make you aware that disclosure of
information obtained through FOIA is a disclosure into the public domain.
 
The City Council’s standard approach is to provide the information in the
form in which we hold it.  If you require alternative formats, e.g. audio,
large print, etc. or a different language, please let me know and we will
provide it if reasonably practicable to do so. If your request is a
question and we do not hold the answer in recorded form we will try and
provide an answer where we are able unless it requires the creation of new
information.
 
There may be a fee payable for this information request and we will send
you a Fees Notice if this is the case. Any fee must be paid before the
request is provided.  The time between the issue of the Fees Notice and
receipt of payment is excluded from the calculation of the 20 working day
time limit.
 
Any personal information you provide in relation to this request will only
be used for the purposes of processing your request for information.
 
If you have any queries or concerns then please contact the Corporate
Information Governance Officer at Portsmouth City Council, Civic Offices,

Dear Thomas Lilley,
                                   
INFORMATION REQUEST – FOI2020/1287 - Procurement of construction
consultancy and contractor services
 
Thank you for your request for information received on 21st October 2020,
which was considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 
 
In accordance with the Act, Portsmouth City Council confirms it holds the
requested information in part.
 
YOUR REQUEST AND OUR RESPONSE
 
Under the Freedom of Information Act I would like to request the following
information.
- The full list of SOR (schedule of rates) codes used for housing repairs
& installations.
- Maintenance and Fire Safety Works including Passive Fire Protection.
- Which companies currently carry out repairs & fire remedial works.
I would like the actual SOR ID numbers alongside the description of the
code and associated costs.
Please include any associated relevant information to enable me to
interpret the information clearly.
I would also like the details of how to become a supplier or join a
preferred contractor list and who manages this.
If there are procurement frame works in place, could I have the details of
the consultancy company managing this and contact details.
 
 
Portsmouth City Council does not use schedule of rates, the repairs and
maintenance contract is cost reimbursable for all building maintenance
services. Portsmouth City Council therefore does not hold information
regarding schedule of rates items as this is not applicable to the
Council.
 
Repairs and fire remedial works are issued to repairs and maintenance
service providers who sub-contract to specialist contractors as
appropriate.
 
Portsmouth City Council's current suppliers are Mountjoy Ltd and Comserv
(UK) Ltd.
 
Further information on becoming a supplier to Portsmouth City Council is
available on our website.

section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we are not required to
provide it separately in response to your request.
 
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act section 17 this email
acts as a partial Refusal Notice. We apologise that your request will not
be met in full, however, if you have any further information needs in the
future then please contact us.
Under the Re- Use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (SI
2015/1415) the supplied information may not be re-used without obtaining
