Subject: Freedom of Information request - Advice contract tender

Dear Homes for Haringey,

This request relates to the welfare benefits advice and debt counselling
service which Haringey CAB currently provides to HfH tenants.

Please confirm whether a procurement process was carried out for the
provision of these services, and if so provide:

1. Date contract was put out to tender, or contracts if there was more
than one contract for the provision of the above services.

2. Number of bids received and value of each bid.

3. Names of bidders.

In the event that complying with this request would exceed the appropriate
cost limit, please limit this request to the number of question(s) which
together (if more than one) would not exceed the cost limit, when
processed in the order presented above. So, for example, if processing the
three first questions would exceed the cost limit but only processing
questions 1 and 2 would remain within the limit, you would limit this
request to questions 1 and 2.

Yours faithfully,

Antony Steig

Dear Mr Steig

Freedom of Information Act Request

Thank you for your email dated 2 June 2018 where you requested the
following:

This request relates to the welfare benefits advice and debt counselling
service which Haringey CAB currently provides to HfH tenants.

Please confirm whether a procurement process was carried out for the
provision of these services, and if so provide:

1. Date contract was put out to tender, or contracts if there was more
than one contract for the provision of the above services.

2. Number of bids received and value of each bid.

3. Names of bidders.

In the event that complying with this request would exceed the appropriate
cost limit, please limit this request to the number of question(s) which
together (if more than one) would not exceed the cost limit, when
processed in the order presented above. So, for example, if processing the
three first questions would exceed the cost limit but only processing
questions 1 and 2 would remain within the limit, you would limit this
request to questions 1 and 2.

The information requested is below :

The Information requested is a matter of public record and can be accessed
via the Councils website;  ‘local democracy’ in a Cabinet report dated 15
December 2015. 

Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act allows us to withhold
information if to provide it would be likely to prejudice the commercial
interests of any person and it is in the public interest to withhold the
information. We think that to disclose the names of bidders and bid price
 as requested would prejudice the commercial interests of those unnamed
organisations . We do not believe it would be in the public interest for
this information to be placed in the public domain as it would be
commercially sensitive . This constitutes a formal refusal to provide this
information, as required under the Freedom of Information Act.

If you have any further queries, or are unhappy with how we have dealt
with your request and wish to make a complaint, please contact the
Feedback and Information Team as below. (Please note you should do this
within two months of receiving this response.)
