Information requested

Please can you publish all correspondence and meeting minutes between the Scottish Government and IMPACT Scotland since June 2025 including all due diligence as part of the Government decision to invest a further £20m in the Dunard Centre project.

I would also like to documentation relating to both the business case presented by IMPACT Scotland in relation to the additional costs and the internal affordability tests run by the Scottish Government.

Response

I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested in relation to the first part of your request.

Exemptions under sections of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under section Section 38(1)(b) (personal information), Section 30(b)(ii) (free and frank exchange of views), Section 30(b)(ii) (free and frank provision of advice) and Section 33(1)(b) (substantial prejudice to commercial interest) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why that exemption(s) applies are explained in the attached annex.
