I confirm the job title for the person responsible for these contracts is the Procurement and Contracts Manager, we hold full contact details requested above but this information is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOI Act, as the information constitutes personal data which is not already in the public domain.
Section 40(2) provides that personal data is exempt information if one of the conditions set out in section 40(3) is satisfied. In our view, disclosure of this information would breach the data protection principles contained in the General Data Protection Regulations and Data Protection Act 2018.
In reaching this decision, we have particularly considered:
- the reasonable expectations of the employees; given their positions, Ordnance Survey considered that none of the individuals would have a reasonable expectation that their personal data would be disclosed;
- the consequences of disclosure; and
- any legitimate public interest in disclosure.
Section 40(2) is an absolute exemption and therefore not subject to the public interest test.
However, under the duty to provide information and assistance in accordance with section 16 of FOIA, we can provide the following information which may assist you in this matter.
