Request for information - Ref No: FOI231137
Request
Thank you for your email of 23 February 2023, requesting information from Ordnance Survey in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000, as set out in the extract below:
“I have attached an Excel file that contains the information I am looking at. The last two columns ("Title of framework used" and "Contracts Finder or TED link of framework agreement") is where I am missing information - please could you fill these in.
Please note that I have identified this contract as a possible call-off contract, so there is a chance it is not a call-off. It could be, for instance, procured directly (without being called off from a framework agreement), or could be itself a notice of the establishment of a framework agreement. Therefore I would kindly ask you to specify in this instance what kind of procurement was used in the "Title of framework used" column. I have provided the title, description, details of the email contact from the notice, the publication date, and procedure type used to award the potential call-off, as well as a URL link to the call-off in question and a unique reference ID for the potential call-off.”
Our response
I confirm that Ordnance Survey does hold the information you have requested.
I am pleased to provide you with the attached spreadsheet containing the IBM Qradar contract information (.xlsx) you have requested.
