The complainant has requested information relating to the assessment of the performance of contractors involved in litter collection, including any sample inspection reports. The Department of Transport (DfT) did respond to the concerns raised in this letter within the timescale for compliance but failed to state whether the information was held and therefore has breached the requirements of section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA.

As such the Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
