FOI releases page
The majority of information contained within this page has been released following requests received under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
PPP and NPD project documents
The PPP and NPD project documents below are either Outline Business Cases (OBCs), Full Business Cases (FBCs) or the main bodies of the final contracts for signed projects in Scotland, in the format held by the Scottish Government at the time of the requests. Where such documents held by the Scottish Government were already publicly available elsewhere, the individuals making the request were directed to these alternative sources, in line with Section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 "the Act".
The documents released are listed by procuring authority. Redactions have been made to some of the documents. This is because we consider the redacted information to be exempt from disclosure under: Section 33 (Commercial interests and the economy) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, as "its disclosure under this Act would, or would be likely to, prejudice substantially the commercial interests of any person (including, without prejudice to that generality, a Scottish local authority)"; Section 35 (Law Enforcement) of the Act, as "its disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice substantially the administration of justice"; Section 36 (Confidentiality) of the Act, as it is "information in respect of which a claim to confidentiality of communications could be maintained in legal proceedings"; and Section 38 (Personal Information) of the Act, as it refers to names and personal data of individuals.
