Freedom of Information (FOI. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives all individuals the right to access official information held by a public authority (the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 also allow access to data. For ease of drafting, FOI is used to cover both legislation). Limited exemptions may apply, and all public authorities must ensure they have recognised procedures in place for administering requests of this nature. All requests for FOI will be directed through the relevant organisations’ FOI processes. Each party will seek advice/opinion from the other parties where there is concern about that information being released and any impact it is likely to have. The final decision to disclose or not will lie with the party who has the legal duty to respond to the request. It is encouraged that all parties proactively publish this document. It may also be disclosed to the public under FOI.

Freedom of Information (FOI. 3.18.1 The Contractor is to be aware that the Authority is bound by the Freedom of Information and the Environmental Information Regulations, so the release of Contract information to the public is also governed by such regulations. Disclosure of contractual information will be dependent on exemptions and the public interest test. Contractors are to be aware that agreements or confidentiality clauses in contracts may be invalid to the extent that they may exceed the exemptions or public interest. Although not a legal requirement, in accordance with the recommendation of Section 45 of the FOI Act, the Authority will consult with Contractors if their views would help to decide if contract related information is a) exempt or b) in the public interest. However the Contractor is to be aware that it is the Authority, not the Contractor, who will decide whether information should be disclosed.
