The complainant has requested a copy of the winning tender submission for the Weltag Appraisal: Barry Docks Transport Interchange (Ref AUG342470). The council applied section 43(2) (prejudice to commercial interests) and refused the request. The complainant accepted that some types of information would be commercially sensitive and therefore narrowed the scope of his request. The council, however, upheld its decision for the remaining information after its review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was not correct to apply section 43(2) to withhold the information. The Commissioner requires the council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. To disclose a copy of the withheld information to the complainant, without information on commercial rates, staff names, survey costs and client contacts.FOI 43(2): Complaint upheld
