Managing Information Rights Requests
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
I am looking to update my research regarding what software solutions are currently used to manage and track FOI, Subject Access and other DPA/GDPR related disclosure requests and would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, the following details.
The details I require are:
• What, if any, software is used for managing and tracking FOI, Subject Access, DPA disclosure requests and complaints?
• If purchased software is used, what was the start date, duration and value of the contract?
• Is there an extension clause in the contract and, if so, the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether the contract is are being either extended or renewed?
• Who is the senior person/s (outside of procurement) responsible for managing the FOI, Subject Access, DPA disclosure request process?
Thank you for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Ewan Owen
