Dear Mr Tatum,
Re: DfI Roads Term Contract for School Safety, 20mph Zone and Vehicle
Activated Signs
Thank you for your email dated 2 April 2024 requesting, under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOI), the following information held by the Department:
• What are the contractual performance KPI's for this contract?
• Suppliers who applied for inclusion on each framework/contract and were
successful & not successful at the PQQ & ITT stages
• Actual spend on this contract/framework (and any sub lots), from the start
of the contract to the current date
• Start date & duration of framework/contract?
• Could you please provide a copy of the service/product specification
given to all bidders for when this contract was last advertised?
• Is there an extension clause in the framework(s)/contract(s) and, if so,
the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether the framework(s)/contract(s)
are being either extended or renewed?
• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this
contract?
In considering your request on behalf of the Department I have determined that the
information requested falls under the aegis of the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004, as opposed to the FOI Act 2000. Section 39 of the Freedom of
Information Act specifically excludes from consideration under that Act requests for
what is deemed to be environmental information. EIR gives rights of public access
environmental information held by public authorities.
A guide explaining the Environmental Information Regulations can be found at:
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi-eir-and-access-to-information/guide-to-the-
environmental-information-regulations/. In response to your request, I can confirm that the Department does hold
information relating to your request and, being suitable for disclosure, I attach the
information held by DfI as ANNEX 1.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for
an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months
of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be
addressed to:
Head of Information Management Unit

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information
