- The Trust purchases from several vendors, all of whom are on an approved IT procurement framework. The preferred supplier varies depending on which organisation can offer the most competitive price at the time of purchase.
- The information you have requested regarding the allocated budget for mobile device management is commercially sensitive and therefore exempt from disclosure under section 43(2) [commercial interest] exemption of the FOIA.
- As is the case for most NHS organisations, we are not of the view that it is appropriate to routinely release the names and contact details of our staff into the public domain through the FOIA. This is to safeguard our staff from companies that may misuse this information.
The names/contact details you are seeking are therefore exempt under section 40(2) [personal information] exemption of the Act.
It is important to note that the Trust and its commissioning partners are required to follow very specific rules when procuring equipment or services. It will be therefore of little benefit to contact our staff directly about such opportunities. Information about procurement and tendering can be found on our website.
