Kendrick School
The complainant has requested a copy of the bid submitted by Kendrick School (the School) to the Department for Education (DfE) for the Selective Schools Expansion Fund. The request was initially dealt with under the FOIA and refused under section 22 on the basis that the school intended to publish the bid at a later date. However during the Commissioner’s investigation she advised the School that, as information related to development of a new school building, the request should have been considered under the EIR. The School therefore reconsidered the request and applied a combination of regulation 13 – personal information and regulation 12(5)(e) – adverse effect on the confidentiality of commercial information, to withhold the majority of the information. It did however disclose some information. In respect of regulation 12(5)(e) the Commissioner finds that it applies to some but not all the withheld information. Similarly, the Commissioner finds that regulation 13 does not apply to all the information to which it has been applied. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information apart from that identified in the confidential annex.
EIR 13:
Complaint partly upheld
EIR 12(5)(e):
Complaint partly upheld
