Good Afternoon Issy,

 

The college is still under contract to our incumbent supplier and not due
for retender for another two years. So would like to withholding the
information on the grounds of its commercial sensitivity.

 

If you are unhappy with the way in which your Freedom of Information
request has been handled, and wish to request a review of the response,
please reply to this email explaining how it did not meet your
expectations and what action you would like the College to take now.

 

If you are still dissatisfied following the review of your request
response, you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s
