While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Public Pensions Agency does not have some of the information you have requested. In relation to the first part of your request ("Contract 1 - contact centre/call centre contracts"), the SPPA does not have the information you have asked for because we do not hold any contact centre or call centre contracts. Any responses affected by this exemption are displayed in the spreadsheet as information not held*.

In relation to the second part of your request, the SPPA does not have the information you have asked for regarding Mitel Telephony Platform because this is provided by core Scottish Government.
