Q7. Please also provide details of IT Contracts Managers and any person(s) involved in IT Software procurement.
It is not the policy of the Museum under S40 (Personal Information) of the FOI Act not to give out contact details for those staff working in back room operations as this may result in an increase in the number of calls/emailed received from companies wishing to sell their services, which will prevent more important work from being carried out.
I hope these answers are satisfactory. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. If you wish to appeal against the exemption of information in Q7 please contact [email address] and copy me in.
Thank you
