Contractual information relating to Burnham Surgery Options Appraisal
Dear Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Partnership,
On 23 August 2022, your Estates Manager wrote (your ref. KH/ 14/00108/Out&RES/MAL/17/00126) to Maldon District Council requesting a drawdown of £15,360 to "fully fund an options appraisal" for Burnham Surgery. I understand the appraisal was subsequently performed by appointed Architects and a copy has been sent to the Surgery.
While I appreciate that other parties are currently attempting to obtain a copy of the final appraisal, subject to ongoing FOI requests/appeals, I would like to request the following information which I believe is held by the Partnership (ICB) and would not normally be considered "exempt" under the FOI Act:
- copy of the ICB's initial tender and/or response (redacted if necessary) which gave rise to the quotation of £15,360 from the appointed firm of Architects including relevant terms/conditions stipulated or agreed to by both parties - specifically those relating to the deliverable being provided "in confidence"; or
- copy of the overriding Master Services Agreement/Contract with The Architects, where this service was provided as part of an existing commission; and
- copy of the ICB's covering letter or email transmitting the final deliverable to the Burnham Surgery.
Please also supply any relevant internal ICB meeting minutes, memos or file notes from prior to 23 August 2022 relating to the initial decision to commission the options appraisal.
If you believe any of this information held by your organisation is "exempt" from publication, please provide your valid grounds by return. (I do note that the ICB's prevailing Procurement Policy, at 10.2.7 requires specific information to be provided to bidders about the need for the ICB to comply with the FOI Act...]
If not, I look forward to prompt publication in response to this request.
Yours faithfully,
Nicholas Gilmour
