The complainant has requested a copy of a contract between a company called Kier and its subcontractor. Kier contracted with the council to erect fences in an area, and its subcontractor contracted with Kier to carry out the necessary work. The complainant also requested details on the costs for part of the job. The council provided information on the overall costs of erecting the fences but said that it does not hold a copy of the contract between Kier and its subcontractor. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, the council was correct to state that it has disclosed all of the information which it holds falling within the scope of the request to the complainant. The Commissioner does not therefore require the council to take any steps.
