The complainant has requested documentation from the Trust regarding a tender process between the Trust and domiciliary care providers and the maximum named hourly price reached by the Trust. The Trust refused to disclose the information, relying on the exemptions within sections 41 (breach of confidence) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied section 43(2), which applies to the entirety of the withheld information. The Commissioner therefore orders no steps to be taken.
