Q.6. Can you kindly confirm that the number of organisations, out of the 4,000 plus that were contacted by JLL, who chose to submit themselves to the final selection process was only three?
Q 7. Taking into account EDDC's promise to the public on the non-inclusion of 'residential' on the Queen's Drive site, did any member, officer or advisor ever consider that EDDC's 'offer' to developers had failed to attract a suitable candidate for preferred developer? If so full details please.

I refer you back to our previous response dated 16th February and quote from this below:
You also asked for the names of the organisations who submitted a bid for this work having been provided already with the number of organisations involved. In considering your request we have contacted the other organisations who submitted a bid and they have confirmed our view that this detail, at this point in time, is commercially confidential to them. We are therefore withholding this detail under Regulation 12(5)(e) of the Environmental Information Regulations.
