The Trust is unable to provide the Contract Value as this information is commercial in confidence. This information is exempt under section 43 (commercial interests) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as the information would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of those involved.
Section 43 (2) is a qualified exemption which means the Trust must undertake a public interest test. The Trust has considered the public interest in disclosing this information and while it is in the public interest to disclose information that informs the public of how we spend our money, especially where this relates to the provision of public services, we have determined that the prejudice arising from disclosure outweighs the benefit to the public in this instance.

- The name of the current provider for each contract;
- The value of each contract;
- The number of staff employed on each contract;
- The expiry date for each contract, and the date that any decision would need to be made regarding renewal;
