Dear Mr McMenamin
Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 Thank you for your email letter of 20 February 2020 in which you requested from the
Insolvency Service:
Is a catering restaurant or café provided on the premises?
What are the addresses of the buildings in which the restaurants or cafés are
located?
Who is the current catering incumbent of the catering contract?
What is the catering value? (Or is it nil subsidy?) Are the catering facilities shared
with other departments?
When is the catering service contract due for re-tender?
How will it be re-tendered?
Is the contract part of a PFI?
Is it part of an FM contract? (and if so, what services are also included in the
contract?) Who provides the other soft FM services?
Who will be the main person leading on the tender during the formal tender process?
When will the tender notice be issued?
Where will the tender notice be issued?
When is the tender due for release?
Is it on the CCS framework?
Who in the department is responsible for the management of the contract?
How many people are there on-site per day?
Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
The Insolvency Service does not hold the information you have requested.
I can confirm on behalf of the agency that any catering facilities available in our
buildings do not come under our contractual remit as a sub-lessee and so the
agency does not have any contractual liability.
Please note FOIA only applies to recorded information, it does not require public
authorities to answer a question unless recorded information exists. Therefore, to
answer a request FOIA does not oblige a public authority to create information if the
requested information is not held.
If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to
reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), please contact our
Information Rights Team a
t xxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx or by post at:

You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) if you
wish for them to investigate any complaint you may have regarding our handling of
your request. However, please note that the ICO is likely to expect an IR to have
been completed in the first instance.
Kind regards
