Re: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request
Thank you for your email of 06 January in which you requested from the Insolvency Service:
I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector. I have identified some potential call-off contracts awarded by the Insolvency Service, but I can’t find details of the framework agreements they were awarded from.
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 these contracts as possible call-off contracts, so some of them might not be. Some could be, for instance, procured directly (without being called off from a framework agreement), or could be themselves notices of the establishment of a framework agreement. Therefore I would kindly ask you to specify in these incidences 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 each potential call-off, as well as a URL link to the call-off in question and a unique reference ID for each potential call-off.
Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested and it is contained within the spreadsheet attached to this email
