Travel Management Services TRA4027 SU
Dear Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium,
Please can you provide me with a copy of the winning tender from
the Travel Management Services TRA4027 SU .
I am aware that the tender and the ensuing contract had a schedule
in it where the service provider listed any information which they
considered to be commercially sensitive and therefore potentially
exempt from disclosure. In order to allow you to respond quickly, I
confirm my request specifically excludes any information referenced
in that schedule.
As the service provider was specifically required to list any
commercially sensitive material in this schedule, by implication
any and all other parts of the tender are not considered by the
service provider to be commercially sensitive, and as a result it
would be patently wrong for you to refuse this request under a
section 43 exemption.
Yours faithfully,
Ash

the public domain as commercial in confidence.
