Thank you for your request received by Sevenoaks District Council on 11
April 2018.

In relation to your enquiry, please find the Council’s response set out
below.

Your enquiry was:

I would like to request a list of your current contracts with suppliers
over the value of £5,000 or over.

As a minimum, please include:

Reference number

Title of agreement

Local authority department responsible

Description of the goods and/or services being provided Supplier name and

organisation and where it is, provide the relevant registration number.

Our response:

We do not hold a list of our current contracts with suppliers over the
value of £5,000 with the additional details you request.  However our
register of payments to suppliers over £500, which may duplicate some of
the requested information, is publicly available here:

Dear FOI Team,

I would like to request an internal review of the handling of my Freedom of Information request.

Under section 21, you confirmed that you did not hold the data I requested on contracts with suppliers worth over £5,000.

However, there is a legal requirement to publish this data:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio....

Therefore, I believe my request was mishandled.

I await your response within 20 working days.

Yours sincerely,

Helen McNally
