Which company provides the door access systems around the university.

The request was refused by University of Hull.

Dear University of Hull,

I am getting in touch to ask which company supplies the door access card readers on buildings around the University of Hull (used for contact-less access on campus cards).

Please give all information relating to:
- The make and model of readers used
- The company which manufactures/distributes the readers
- Any third-party installers/channel partners used to purchase the readers
- The security infrastructure provider
- The software used to manage the door controllers and readers.
- Approximate quantity of doors at the university.
- Name of the Head of Estates for the University.

Additionally, if the university uses readers from multiple suppliers, please give a list of all suppliers.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

K York

- Any third-party installers/channel partners used to purchase the readers

- The security infrastructure provider

- The software used to manage the door controllers and readers.

Response

 

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities. Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section
1(1)(a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a
request is held. The second duty at Section 1(1)(b) is to disclose
information that has been confirmed as being held. Where exemptions are
relied upon Section 17 of FOIA requires that we provide the applicant with
a notice which: a) states that fact b) specifies the exemption(s) in
question and c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the
exemption applies.

 

It has been determined that this information is exempt on the basis that
s21 of the Act applies – Information Reasonably Accessible by Other Means.
As this exemption is absolute there is no requirement for me to conduct a
public interest test, however in order to provide assistance I provide the
following link -

- Name of the Head of Estates for the University. – Stephen Dale

- Additionally, if the university uses readers from multiple suppliers,
please give a list of all suppliers. N/A

If you are unhappy with how your request has been handled you have the
right to ask for an internal review. To request a review, please email

Protection Officer or University Secretary.
