Dear Scottish Prison Service,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Scottish Prison Service's handling of my FOI request 'Due Diligence RRA'.

[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]

As the SPS is funded by the public purse it is essential for value for money to be achieved, therefore before any recruitment and retention allowance should be approved, as this is a large amount of financial expenditure a due diligence report or business case or a ‘report’ whatever title you wish to give it, inclusive of the following type of information (provided as a guideline only) should be submitted for full consideration of viability before any decision is made.

▪ Statement of what is being studied, research or in this instance the RRA proposal
▪ Background and supporting documentation on the RRA proposal to substantiate the proposal. (Including but not limited to corporate reports, financial statements etc)
▪ Studies or findings, statistics, risk analysis and supporting information such as surveys, business need, trade union consultation, staffing reviews etc.
▪ SWOT analysis -- an overview of  the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (corporate risk) associated with the RRA proposal
▪ Details about funding or financial obligations that might impact the terms of any RRA proposal.

It is this type of pre- approval report that I am seeking under FOISA.

Additionally you should be aware that as a designated authority under the act you have a legal requirement to assist the requestor, as educated and intelligent professionals, you will have a clear understanding of exactly what is being requested here, albeit you have chosen to play semantics.

I trust this now clarifies this request sufficiently, however please do not hesitate to contact me should there be any matter left unclear.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...

Yours faithfully,

Jeremy Davidson
