Professional Services Procurement Spend

The request was refused by Fylde Borough Council.

Dear Fylde Borough Council,

I am writing to ask that you please provide me with the spend for your Professional Services procurement at the Authority, by which I mean the procurement of projects and consultancy through Statement of Work excluding temporary agency staff.

• What have you spent on Professional Services over the last 12 months?
• What did the authority spend on professional Services Between April 2019 and March 2020?
• Between April 2019 and March 2020, which categories had the highest level of spend throughout that period?
• Has the authority planned any large construction-based projects over the next two years?
• If you have got construction projects planned, please could you provide project details, budget and timeframes?
• What is the Councils current process to engage with professional service providers? Please could you provide details of the process and name third parties if they are being used.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Taylor

Lyndsey Lacey-Simone, Fylde Borough Council

Dear Mr Taylor,

In the light of the unprecedented situation and the need to direct public resources towards the coronavirus crisis, I would ask that you reconsider your request. If I do not hear from you further, I will assume that you have taken the decision to withdraw your request and allow resources to be directed to where they are most needed.

Kind regards
