2nd February 2011

Case Reference Number IRQ0372257

Dear Mr Bowen

I write with reference to your request for information of 31 January 2010
concerning some of our corporate identity costs.  As you are aware we
have treated your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Request

You requested:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I would be grateful if

you could supply me with more information relating to the £585 cost  for
a favicon for your own ICO website as outlined here on your own
internet page :

http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/l...

Ideally I would like to know :

* Which company undertook the work.

* How that figure was obtained by them.
(For example what reasoning was given for the figure and exactly
what work would need to be undertaken in order for the favicon to
be created and implemented)

* What research was done internally by your own company to go about
agreeing to pay this cost as opposed to perhaps a company that
charges less.

Also regarding the 'Corporate Identity Costs (PDF)' on your site
could you also give information as to what exactly is meant by 'Web
Development Work (Logo & Fonts)'.

Information Held

1.     Reading Room Ltd undertook the work.

2.     The favicon was part of the corporate identity work Reading
Room were doing under our maintenance contract and was not quoted for
separately. Reading Room created a brand new 32 x 32 pixel favicon. Whilst
we hold no recorded information concerning this part of your request I can
advised you that the work needed to put the favicon live was complicated
by an old environment (which has since been updated) that caused issues
and extended the time taken to carry out the work.

3.     We chose Reading Room as our website developers through a
procurement process run through the Central Office of Information (COI). 
At the time of the corporate identity change Reading Room were contracted
to us for all website maintenance and therefore no third party would have
been approached.

4.     'Web development Work (Logo & Fonts)' involved updating our
logos and fonts throughout our website.

Case Reference Number IRQ0372257

Dear Mr Bowen

I write further to your recent enquiry seeking clarification on one aspect
of the response sent to your information request.  Whilst there is no
recorded information which would provide this information I can confirm
that that the old website development environment was upgraded from one
server to two. 

I hope this now clarifies the information previously provided to you.

Yours sincerely

Charlotte Powell
