Covid 19 grants or loans to 3rd party organisations
Dear Dundee City Council,
Please supply details of every 3rd party organisation that has received financial support from the council, to date, in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. For the avoidance of doubt, this means any Covid-19 related payment from January 24th 2020.
Such support could take the form of grants, loans or waived fees or taxes.
Please provide me with the following details for each organisation supported:
1. The name, address, and registration number, if known, of the organisation supported.
2. The value of the support provided, the nature of the support (grant, loan etc), the date payment was made.
3. The name of the funding scheme or funding stream that the organisation qualified for.
To be clear, I do not seek personal information, or information on financial support provided to individuals. Therefore, data protection concerns should not mitigate against providing this information.
In addition, I would be grateful if you could provide me with a total figure for Covid-19 support spending with 3rd party organisations for the period in question.
I would prefer not to receive the requested information in pdf format files. Please supply the requested information in a machine readable format file, such as MS Excel or CSV format files.
You will note that I sent a similar request on November 14 2020. A large number of Scottish local authorities declined to provide the requested information, because they relied on advice provided from the Scottish Government, via COSLA, that a Section 35 (1) a exemption would apply to this request.
With regards to this exemption, I have now received a decision from the Scottish Information Commissioner on this. You can find it here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/...
In addition, I seek up to date information that covers the whole period from January 24 2020 to the present day.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Ally Tibbitt

Hi,
By 3rd party organisation I mean any incorporated body that is external to the council. This could include, but should not limited to, limited companies, registered charities or LLPs.
However, as I mentioned previously I do not seek information on private individuals or sole traders.
I hope this helps to clarify my request.
Yours sincerely,
Ally Tibbitt
Dear Sir
I acknowledge receipt of your email.

Dear Sir
In order to answer your request can you please provide clarification:
Please supply details of every 3rd party organisation that has received
financial support from the council, to date, in relation to the Covid-19
pandemic. For the avoidance of doubt, this means any Covid-19 related
payment from January 24th 2020.
Such support could take the form of grants, loans or waived fees or taxes.
Waived fees or taxes – I am unsure what the requestor is looking for
here. Does this mean NDR RHL reliefs?
Please provide me with the following details for each organisation
supported:
1. The name, address, and registration number, if known, of the
organisation supported. – our records do not hold registration numbers
2. The value of the support provided, the nature of the support (grant,
loan etc), the date payment was made.
3. The name of the funding scheme or funding stream that the organisation
qualified for.
