Good morning

Thank you your Freedom of Information request dated 24/11/2022.

In answer to this request I can tell you that the school does not have any
formal uniform supply system in place therefore there is no data held to
disclose. Even if the school did have a system in place, it would not
disclose the data requested as it would be commercially sensitive and may
prejudice the school's ability to achieve the best deal or deals available
to it from potential suppliers.

Kind regards

Sandra Swain

Data Protection Officer

Dear Queensbridge School, Mosely, Birmingham,

Under the FOI Act I would like to request the following information
regarding the contract with your supplier(s) of sports uniform/kit:

1) How many suppliers do you have a contract with?

2) How was the contract awarded e.g. open competition, direct award? Was
the local authority involved in the tender of this contract?

3) Date the contract was awarded?

4) Date the contract will expire?

5) What competitors, if any, were considered?

6) What criteria was used to select the supplier?

7) Does the school profit from the contract, e.g. as a result of uniform
sales? If yes, what remuneration is received?

8) If the school has not entered into a contract with the supplier(s),
what is the nature of the agreement in place?

9) Does the contract contain any clauses relating to the cost or
affordability of items?

10) Please provide a copy of the contract with commercially sensitive
details redacted.

Please note that redaction costs cannot be counted towards any cost
limits under the FOI Act.

Please also note that for information to be withheld under Section 43
(commercial sensitivity), the following must be provided:

Details of the exact FOIA exemption – either 43.1 Trade Secrets or 43.2
Commercial Interests

Details of who would be prejudiced

A “Public Interest Test” where the arguments for and against release of
the information should be discussed (as this is a “qualified”
exemption).

If release of the information could prejudice a third party, they should
be consulted with (see FOIA Section 45 Code of Practice Part IV)

Please also note that contracts drawn up since 2005 are supposed to
include provisions requiring organisations to comply with the FOI Act

Yours faithfully,

Connor Brooks
