Freedom of Information requests, Coventry University

Dear Leanne,

Freedom of Information Request – FOIA1177

The University has completed its search for the information you requested pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”). The specific questions raised were:

Please can you kindly provide me with your total agency spend so far for the 2019/2020 Academic Year for all Coventry University Group locations inclusive of agency breakdown by name and detailing how much has been spent with each recruitment agency.

Please also provide the total spend for permanent recruitment at your establishment , including the transfer fees, permanent placement fees for each agency as well as advertising spend for the year.

I can confirm that the University holds the information you have requested, however given the specialised nature of many of the agencies involved, it is possible that the University’s commercial strategies and intentions may be inferred from this information.

I am, therefore, invoking the exemption provided under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as the information requested has the potential to be used by the University’s competitors to gain market advantage, and releasing it would be prejudicial to the University’s commercial interests.

If you have any queries or concerns about this email then please do not hesitate to contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to the Information Governance Unit, Coventry University, Portal House, 163 New Union Street, Coventry, CV1 2PL or e-mail: [Coventry University request email].

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint or review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the University.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, Telephone: 08456 30 60 60 or 01625 54 57 45, Email: [email address].
