NHS Supply Chain Coordination Ltd

The complainant has requested the unit cost paid to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Ltd (SCCL) for the purchase of certain items. SCCL refused to provide the requested information, citing section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. Later SCCL also cited section 41(1) of FOIA (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner’s decision is that SCCL appropriately withheld the requested information under section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
