Electrical Works Rewiring

A: Please note, the framework agreement has been withheld under Section 43 (1) and / or (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because disclosure would, or would be likely, to prejudice the commercial interests of the individual companies.

In reaching this decision I have taken into account relevant guidance provided by the Information Commissioner's Office including whether the information in question is commercial or industrial.

Herefordshire Council is satisfied that the information to which the exemption has been applied contains information which could constitute a business secret as well as commercial interests.

Disclosure of the withheld information would adversely affect the Council’s TrustMark Scheme Operator. The withheld information contains detailed rate cards/prices, pricing methodologies, margin structures, proprietary delivery models and performance-sensitive metrics. This information is unique to that company, proprietary in nature and provides a detailed overview of the way that the company approaches such contracts. The company has stated that disclosure would enable competitors to undercut their pricing and replicate their methodology, materially weakening their position in ongoing and future procurements. This would likely prejudice their commercial interests and, ultimately, value for money for the authority.

The council accepts the legitimate economic interests of the company would be likely to be prejudiced by disclosure of the information.

The council is also able to consider its own economic interests in addition to those of independence CIC. The council feels that confidentiality is required to protect its position as purchaser. Disclosing this information would be likely to affect the ability of the council to negotiate best value and to effectively procure services in the future.

In coming to this decision, I have weighed up the public interest for disclosure against the public interest in not disclosing the information and the commercial interests of Independence CIC

as follows:

The public interest in disclosure:

Transparency in relation to Herefordshire Council contracts.

The public interest in not disclosing the information and the commercial interests of Independence CIC

While there is a public interest in transparency, it is sufficiently met by releasing non-personal contractor identities, generic contacts, categories of work, and the framework term. The public interest is not served by publishing granular pricing/methods that would cause real competitive harm and reduce competitive tension in future competitions.

Disclosure would enable competitors to undercut pricing and replicate methodology, materially weakening Independence CIC’s position in ongoing and future procurements. This would likely prejudice their commercial interests and, ultimately, value for money for Herefordshire Council.

Taking the above into consideration, I have found the public interest in disclosing the information in this case is outweighed by the public interest in not disclosing the information. Please therefore take this letter as a refusal notice under S17 of the Act.
