Lavington School
The complainant has requested information relating to the School’s change in IT provider. The School provided some information in response to the request but withheld the rest, citing section 43(2) (commercial interests) and section 36(2)(b)(ii) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that: the majority of the withheld information engages either section 43(2) or section 36(2)(b)(ii) and the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption; the name of ‘provider C’ does not engage section 43(2); in failing to disclose all non-exempt information within twenty working days of receipt of the request, the School has breached section 10 (timescale for compliance) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following steps: disclose the name of provider C.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 43(2): Complaint partly upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Complaint not upheld
