Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your information request.

Section 8(1)(b) of the Act requires that a request for information must include the name of the requester.

However, in this instance the Council is not required to process your request because it is not valid.

Your request is not valid because it only includes your first name in isolation which does not meet the following requirements for a valid request …
‘Any variation of the requester’s title or first name combined
with their surname (e.g. Mr Smith or John Smith) will be
sufficient to meet this requirement. A first name or surname provided in isolation, or a set of initials, will not’

However, we will consider your request if you provide your ‘first name and surname’ and if we hold the information requested send you the response within 20 working days unless an exemption applies.

Please contact us if you have any further queries or need help or advice at …

Dear Benjamin,

I acknowledge your request for information received on 19/04/23 about
tender scores..

Your request is being considered and you will receive the information
requested as soon as possible, but in any case by 19/05/23 the statutory
timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (FOI) unless the information requested is subject to a statutory
exemption on disclosure or the information contains reference to a third
party.

If your request does not include all the information we need or is not
clear, we will contact you for more information (clarification). In these
circumstances, the 20 working response deadline will start the next
working day after we receive your clarification response.

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions, which may
prevent release of the information you have requested. Some exemptions are
subject to a public interest test. There will be an assessment and if any
of the exemption categories apply and any relevant public interest test is
weighed in favour of withholding the information it will not be released.
You will be informed if this is the case, including your rights of appeal.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may need to be consulted before a decision is taken on whether the
information can be released to you. You will be informed if this is the
case.

There may be a fee payable for supplying the information in the form of
disbursements. This will be calculated and you will be informed if a fee
is payable. The fee must be paid before the information is released and
the 20 working day time limit for responses is suspended until payment is
made. You will have 3 calendar months to submit your payment.

If you have any queries or concerns then please contact:

Dear Benjamin,

Thank you for your request received 19/4/23 under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (FOIA) for Tender Scores.

Please clarify the following, so we can search if we hold the information
requested.

"For any last ten tenders awarded through competitive tendering in the
last two years that were evaluated separately on price and quality, 
Unfortunately, the Council is unable to identify the information you have
requested from the details in your request"

What do you mean by 'last ten tenders'? 
Does your request relate to specific type of tender?  For example, IT
laptop contract.  Tenders are carried out for specific services.

We won’t be able to deal with your request until you provide the
additional information.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 says that we must comply with your
request for information within 20 working days, from the date following
receipt of your request unless we have to ask for clarification, as in
this case. The 20 day response deadline clock has stopped from the date of
this email, the clock will reset from the date we receive your response
clarifying your request and we will advise you of the new 20 working day
deadline at this stage.

Unfortunately, if we don’t hear from you by 20/6/23, we will send you a
refusal notice because we have not received all the information we need to
deal with your request.

If you have any queries or concerns then please contact:

Freedom of Information Officer Derby City Council The Council House
Corporation Street Derby DE1 2FS Telephone 01332 640763 or e-mail
