The complainant has requested information from Arc21 relating to a procurement process in respect of a waste management project in Northern Ireland. Arc21 disclosed some information to the complainant, however it withheld the remainder, citing sections 41 and 43 of the FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that Arc21 has correctly applied section 41 of the FOIA. As this applies to the entirety of the withheld information, the Commissioner did not go on to consider Arc21’s application of sections 43(1) and 43(2) of the FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner therefore requires no steps to be taken.
