SIC Procurement details for IT equipment – On 20 September 2014, Mr O’Donnell asked the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) for details of payments to Ricoh for specified services between given dates, and for other details of the related procurement exercise.
COPFS responded by providing information to Mr O’Donnell. Following a review, Mr O’Donnell was dissatisfied with the information given to him and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated. Following the disclosure of further information during the investigation (subject to appropriate redactions), the Commissioner was satisfied that COPFS had provided Mr O’Donnell with the information it held falling within the scope of his request. However, she found that the information should have been provided to Mr O’Donnell at an earlier stage.
