Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about a contract with a third party to refurbish a Council building. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) disclosed some information but withheld information which would reveal the pricing structure applied, citing section 43 (Commercial interests). It said that it did not hold information about future payments. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council applied section 43 correctly, and, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold the remaining information.
