Request for Information - LBR-FOI-00768 - ICT Documents 2023

I refer to your request for information received on 14 February 2023. Please see the information below in response to your request: -

Please see attached.

2.ICT Org Chart ;- with names and job titles?

Please see attached chart. IT division is covered on p56-82. The Council does not provide employee names below the Head of Service level, as this is considered to be exempt from disclosure under Section 40 (2)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as releasing personal information relating to other individuals would breach the Data Protection principles. Please note that this is an absolute exemption under the Freedom of Information Act and therefore the public interest test does not apply.

3.Corporate Procurement Strategy that covers 2023/24 and more?

Please note that a revised Procurement Strategy covering the period 2023 to 2026 is currently under development, once adopted, a copy will be available on the Council's external Procurement web pages.
