Dear Eden District Council,
Under the freedom of information act I would like to request the
following;-

contractors who do work on behalf of Housing Grants department for
DFG (disable facility grants) . I would also
ask for the schedule of rates and if any manufacturers product is
specified.
With regard to the public sector can you also confirm how materials
for adapted bathrooms are supplied and if there are any
specifications by product/manufacturer or performance.
Yours faithfully,
J Loc

Dear Jill
Freedom of Information request relating to Bathroom Adaptations
Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 received on 29 February 2016. I have registered your request under reference number FOI 03695 and would be grateful if you would please use this reference on any future correspondence relating to this request.
We aim to respond to your request no later than 30 March 2016.
Whilst it is the Council’s policy to provide information wherever possible, I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which may prevent the release of some or all of the information you have requested. Some exemptions are absolute and some only apply where the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs that in disclosing the information. You will be informed if this is the case and the reason why.
Once the information has been identified the Authority may also ask that a fee be paid for processing and delivering the information to you. Details of any fee to be charged will be notified to you as soon as possible.

Dear Jill
Further to your FOI request regarding bathroom adaptations which was logged under FOI reference number 03695, may I apologise for the delay in responding to your request. Unfortunately the member of staff within our housing team who deals with this was off ill but has now returned and provided the following information.
Eden District Council does not hold a list of contractors who do work for DFGs. All work is contracted by open tender and the cheapest quote accepted. If the applicant wishes to choose the dearer quote they can do and pay the difference between them. For all works the description from AKW is used in the list of works but contractors are advised that they can use similar materials as long as it is to the same standard.
I hope this satisfies your query however if you are dissatisfied with this response you can have your complaint heard under the Council’s complaints procedure. To do this you will need to contact us straight away by completing the online formal complaints form, printing and completing the complaints form, emailing [email address] or writing to the Director of Corporate and Legal Services at Eden District Council, Town Hall, Penrith CA11 7QF. We will then internally review the decision.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner (ICO) at: Information Commissioner’s Officer, Wycliffe House, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF or by telephoning 0303 123 1113. Generally the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by Eden District Council.
