SIC Breakdown of costs – On 9 January 2014, Mr Lawrence asked South Ayrshire Council (the Council) for a breakdown of the costs of a building project at New Bridge Street, Ayr. The Council provided some information to Mr Lawrence, but withheld other information on the basis that disclosure would substantially prejudice the contractor’s commercial interests.
During the investigation, the Council informed the Commissioner that it did not in fact hold a further breakdown of the costs. The Commissioner accepted that this was the case, but found that the Council had failed to give Mr Lawrence proper notice of this.
