Disclosure of the requested information could substantially prejudice commercial interests and so it is exempt under section 33(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, commercial interests. Providing commercial information into public domain could impact future contract negotiations, so the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosing it.

Please note that we do not give you individual staff names below Heads of Service, as providing service level contact details allows for continuity of service if individual staff are unavailable. Therefore we are applying Section 38(1)(b) of FOISA - personal information.
