Mr Brace

I write to acknowledge receipt of your email below which was received
today.  The invoices referred to are those already contained in your email
request dated 4 August 2016 (see attached).  I note that the list of
contracts is different so I will put these together and deal with them as
one response.

The notice was published on 1 July 2016 and the period for inspection will
therefore end on  12 August 2016.  (copy notice attached).   This notice
is not unfortunately on our website at this present time.

As you will appreciate you have requested a large amount of
information.    Officers are working as quick as possible to retrieve the
information requested and we hope to provide you with a copy in the next
few days.

I understand that you have also requested information regarding inspection
dates through an FOI request.  This therefore constitutes a response to
that too.

Regards

Julie Watling

From: John Brace [[2]mailto:[email address]]
Sent: 08 August 2016 09:02
To: Fogarty, John
Cc: Outram, Louise
Subject: Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, s.26 (right of local
government elector to inspect invoices and contracts relating to 15/16 FY)

Dear John Fogarty and Louise Outram, 

Please note this is a combined request for Merseytravel and the Liverpool
City Region Combined Authority. From my perspective it would make sense to
deal with these both on the same day (but I realise from your perspective
you may prefer to deal with them separately). 

I am copying in Louise Outram on this as I realise the legal section at
Merseytravel deals with the contracts element of this request. 

I'm a local government elector in the Merseyside area registered to vote
at Jenmaleo, 134 Boundary Road, Bidston, Wirral, CH43 7PH. 

As (I presume) it is within the 30 day working period I would like to
inspect & receive copies of the invoices in the attached spreadsheet
(supplied in comma separated value format) and the following contracts. 

Please note also that the list of reasons for redactions have changed
since last year.

List of contracts

1) Contract/s with Merseyrail Electrics 2002 Limited 

2) Lease with Commerz Real Investmentgesellschaft GMBH for Mann Island HQ

3) Contract/s with BLACC Consulting Ltd

4) Contract/s with Kenyon Fraser

Please could you suggest suggested days and times to inspect these
documents with the 30 working day period?

Thank you,

Dear Mr Brace

I refer to your request for an internal review of the decision in respect
of the public notice on the website. 

Our initial response was not a refusal to provide you with the requested
information, but rather advising you that the information was not on our
website.  Merseytravel therefore had no recorded information to provide to
you.

However I had been mistakenly informed that the information was not on the
website, when in fact it was available at the following links:-

               
[1]http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/about-us/...

               
[2]http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/about-us/...

I apologise for this oversight, and trust that this satisfies your
request.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review.  Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: Mrs Louise Outram, Head of
Legal, Democratic Services & Procurement, Merseytravel, PO Box 1976,
Liverpool, L69 3HN, [3][email address].

If you are subsequently not content with the outcome of the internal
review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision.  The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: Information Commissioners Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, [4]www.ico.org.uk.
