Central Bedfordshire Council

The complainant has requested information relating to a Gas Maintenance and Service Contract.  Central Bedfordshire Council withheld the information under the exemptions for information provided in confidence (section 41) and prejudice to commercial interests (section 43(2)). The Commissioner’s decision is that Central Bedfordshire Council has failed to demonstrate that section 41 and section 43(2) are engaged.  The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information to the complainant.
