Organisation's ICT and corporate procurement documents: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
The following departmental documents around ICT and corporate procurement.
Many organisations within your region have different document title names:
- 2023/24 IT Department Documents - these types of documents have detailed information on the department's future plans and strategies. These documents could include: ICT Strategy/Plan, ICT Department Plan, ICT Financial Plan
- ICT Org Chart - with names and job titles.
- Corporate Procurement Strategy that covers 2023/24 and more.
For all the documents I have requested, please provide me with the 2023/24 documents, I only want to only receive documents that are live and valid. If the document is a strategic plan (e.g. 2020-2025) that covers a set number of years, please provide me with the 2023 version.
I also require the full version of the documents i have requested, if any parts of the document is missing, please state this in the response.
If this cannot be provided, please provide me with information on when this version will be available.
Response
1. We do not have and will not publish an ICT plan until decisions around the reform work of the organisation are reached. There are budgetary and strategic decisions which have not yet been decided upon. In the meantime we continue to align to the following strategies: Education Scotland: Digital Strategy and Education Scotland: Corporate and Business Planning.
2. Our organisation chart for Digital Services is documented in Annex B. No names have been shown as the names of members of staff below Senior Civil Service level are not included in responses to Freedom of Information requests.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information requested because an exemption under section 38(1)(b), personal information, of FOISA applies to some of the information requested. The reason why this exemption applies is explained in Annex A.
3. The Corporate Procurement Strategy for 2023/24 is currently being updated.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information requested because an exemption under section 27(1), information intended for future publication, of FOISA applies. The reason why this exemption applies is explained in Annex A.
