Framework for the Provision of Admin, Catering and Manual Staff Services (April - June 2023): FOI release

Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.


Information requested

Under the Freedom of Information [Scotland] Act 2002 we formally request the information listed below in relation to the Scottish Governments Framework for the Provision of Admin, Catering and Manual Staff Services [North/South].

[1] Total spend for each public body between 01 April 2023 – 30 June 2023 and to which agency (including agencies who are now no longer on the framework) for both Frameworks (Generation 2 & 3)?

[2] Number of jobs held by each agency at 30-June-23 (including agencies who are now no longer on the framework) for both frameworks (generation 2 & 3)?

Subsequently amended - our request is in relation to framework generation 3 and 4.

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. We are unable to provide the number of job roles held for the 3rd or 4th generation of these frameworks by each agency at 30th June 2023. To ensure compliance with Data Protection Act requirements, we have changed the format in which we collate and hold management information for these frameworks from 1st April 2023. As such we no longer hold data which allows a breakdown of individual job roles (i.e. number of individuals) per agency/framework. Consequently, we are unable to provide the data requested.

This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested.

Please find the information requested that we do hold the Annex attached.

Annex A

Information in relation to the Scottish Government Frameworks for the Provision of Admin, Catering & Manual Staff Services, North & South. Total spend for each public body between 01 April 2023 to 30 June 2023 and to which agency (including agencies who are no longer on the framework) for the 3rd and 4th generation of both Frameworks.
