The complainant has requested information about the full details of the rejected Care UK contract bid for the Eccleshill NHS treatment centre that was not renewed and has led to the closure of the centre. BCCCG provided the complainant with some information relevant to the scope of the request but refused to provide a piece of information under section 43 and 44(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the BCCCG correctly applied section 44(1)(a) FOIA in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 44: Not upheld
