Dear Bo Jacobs Strom

FOI/7839

Subject: Contracts Registers

 

Freedom of Information request 

 

Thank you for your recent request for information. This is to inform you
that we are unable to answer your request based on what you have
requested.

 

Could you please clarify in greater detail exactly the information you are
requesting. Specifically, this request is ambiguous. Are you asking for an
annual contract register for every year between 2011 and 2020? Or do
you want a list of contracts that were let between 2011 and 2020? Or the
current contract register for any live contracts that were let between
2011 and 2020?

 

Kindly be informed that the time for processing your request stops until
we hear from you.  Please quote the above reference in your correspondence
with us. In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the
case, either myself or a colleague will let you know the likely charges
before proceeding.

 

If we do not hear from you within the next 20 working days we will close
your request.

 

Please provide your clarification by responding to this email. Please do
not amend the Subject line.

Kind Regard

Dear Information Management Team,

Either an annual contract register for every year between 2011 and 2020 or a list of contracts that were let between 2011 and 2020 would both be usable. Many thanks.

Specifically, you have requested the following information:

 

Either an annual contract register for every year between 2011 and 2020 or
a list of contracts that were let between 2011 and 2020 would both be
usable. Many thanks.

 

our response: 

The Governments Contracts Finder [1]Contracts Finder - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
allows anyone to search for information about contracts worth £12k (inc
VAT) and above that are awarded by government agencies and goes back
further than 2011.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide any further information since it
would take exceed the appropriate limit and cost to review and compile the
requested information for the period 2011 and 2020
