The records I’m seeking specifically relate to contract awards for IT Service Management solutions (most likely, your ICT/Dept team will know about this – as I would expect your finance dept). Equally, please can I request detail of the contract end date which I would anticipate you will have recorded within your procurement register (or similar). Along the same procurement record lines, please provide the record/s for contract award to whichever supplier is providing IT support and maintenance.
