South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust
1 July 2015, Health (NHS)
The complainant has requested aggregate pricing information relating to South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust’s (the Trust) procurement of vehicle spare parts to support its Mercedes ambulances. The Trust refused to disclose the requested information under section 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has incorrectly applied section 43(2) FOIA to the withheld information in this case. The Commissioner requires the public authority disclose each bidders total for the parts listed, not the individual item pricing. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
