This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests)
Devon County Council can confirm the requested information is held; however, its disclosure would be likely to prejudice the commercial
interests of the Council.
This is because sharing this information could lead to providers benchmarking against prices submitted. This may then lead to future tenders being less competitive.
The Council has considered the public interest in releasing this information and recognises there is a public interest in openness and transparency.
However, there is a stronger public interest in ensuring the maximum amount of money is generated from service provision. Therefore, the balance of public interest weighs in favour of withholding this information from disclosure.
