Request 9:
What is your annual print/copy volume and spend?
We have withheld the information relating to the annual spend as releasing
the number of copy/print against the total spend may allow you to identify
the price per unit.
Commercially sensitive information relating to the trust’s spend on the
above has not been disclosed here as we consider that Section 43 (2)
‘prejudice to the commercial interests of any party’ of the FOI act is
engaged. Disclosure of this information could distort competition between
other providers and result in less competitive quotes. The likely
consequence of this would be an increased cost to the trust. We have
considered how the public interest might apply, and although recognising
that there is a strong public interest in openness, there is a greater
public interest in ensuring an ability to obtain best value for money.
Request 10:
Who is the person(s) within your organization responsible for the MFD's,
print hardware, and supplies contract(s)? Please provide their title and
their contact details.
Please note that Whittington Health is not able to pass on personal
contact details concerning members of staff who are not already available
in the public domain on the Whittington Website:

Request 11:
Who is responsible for purchasing end user devices such as laptops,
