  • Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information on the bids related to a particular tender regarding environmental sustainability support for national governing bodies (“NGBs”). UK Sport (“UKS”) initially relied on FOIA section 43(2) – commercial interests, to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request should have been addressed under the EIR. He finds that the exception at regulation 12(5)(e) - confidentiality of commercial or industrial information, is engaged and that in the circumstances of this case the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
