Dear Sandra Vogel

This request asked: Please list all third party providers of public facing online services on behalf of Merton Council at the time this request is made.

Is this the request you are enquiring about below ? We can send another copy of the response to you if required.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sandra Vogel,

Thank you for your follow up email. Please find below the responses to
your queries.

Please list all third party providers of public facing online services on
behalf of Merton Council at the time this request is made. This includes
both providers which require members of the public to create accounts and
any which do not require this.

For each provider, in a separate spreadsheet column, please indicate:

- whether users need to create an online account

There is no central database that holds a list of all third party
providers. The links were provided to allow you to limit your request to
particular providers, please accept my apologies if this was unclear. In
order to respond to this request every team within the council would need
to conduct a search. Doing so would exceed the appropriate limit as set by
the FOI Act, so a section 12 refusal would be provided with the advice to
limit the scope of your request to particular contracts/services.

- the length of current contract

- whether the contract has been renewed and if yes how many times

This information is provided within the entries for each contract on the
contract register.

Kind regards

Michael Cook
