Dear Robin Robinson, 

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request.

We can confirm that we do hold some information of the description
specified in your request. Our responses are given below each limb of your
request below.

*************** FOI REQUEST **********

I would be grateful if you could provide me with the following information
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

1.            Full list of sweepers owned/leased by the University (4tonne
GVW and under) including make, model and volume of machines

1x owned sweeper - Johnston Madvac PS30

2.            (If owned) Year purchased & when the University are looking
to renew their fleet of sweepers

2006 – not looking to renew

3.            (If leased) Lease start & end date (month and year would
suffice)

N/A

4.            If leased does this include a maintenance plan

N/A

5.            Does the University carry out street/footway cleansing
across the campus in-house or is this contracted out?

Contracted out

6.            (If contracted out) who is the contractor responsible for
the cleansing duties?

Select Environmental Services Ltd

7.            Contact details for the person(s) responsible for managing
the fleet and street cleansing at the university. Can you please include
Full name, email address and contact number.

See response to Q8 below.

8.            (If contracted out) Please can you provide the point of
contact for the cleansing contractor. Can you please include Full name,
email address and contact number.

This information is personal data, specifically the names of some
University employees and third parties.

This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA by
virtue of s40 (3)(a)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information from a response to a request under the FOIA when the
information requested is personal data relating to someone other than the
requestor, and its disclosure would breach any of the Data Protection
principles.

In this case we believe that the disclosure of the names of these
individuals would not be within their reasonable expectations, as this
information is not publicly available, and as such would be unfair and in
breach of the first data protection principle which requires personal data
to be processed fairly and lawfully.

However, to offer as much assistance as we can, you can find contacts for
suppliers here:

your rights to apply to the Information Commissioner.  The procedure is
detailed in our Freedom of Information and Environmental Information
Regulations policy on the web at
