Dear Mr John
Freedom of Information Act 2000
RE: IR - Procurement teams
You requested the following:
Please could you provide the current/latest organisational structure for the
Commissioning and Procurement teams, including the names, job titles and
contact details of all mid and senior management.
I can confirm that the information requested is held by Surrey County Council. I have
detailed below the information that is being released to you.
The Procurement Structure is available on the Surrey Website. This shows the
Structure with Job titles and amounts of staff in each role. It covers all of Orbis
Procurement which means that Some of the job roles in the combined areas such as
“Policy Resource and Development” and “Contract and Supply Chain” could be filled by
staff from any of the three Councils.

Structure-April-2020.pdf
The only name given on this is Darron Cox as Orbis Director of Procurement.
The remainder of the staff names are considered to be the personal data of those
individuals and exempt under Section 40 (2) by virtue of Section 40 (3A) (a) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (as amended). Disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act is deemed to be to the public at large. This information cannot be
disclosed because its disclosure to a member of the public would contravene one or
more of the data protection principles relating to the processing of personal information.
They are set out in Article 5 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and section
34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. As a public authority, Surrey County Council
must observe all of the data protection principles when processing personal data. The
______________

exemption from the duty to disclose personal data where to do so would breach a data
protection principle is an absolute exemption; the public interest test in section 2 of the
Freedom of Information Act does not apply.
We require any contact with the Council to be made through the Contact Centre in the
first instance.
Telephone: 03456 009 009 (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank
holidays)
