Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:
I’m seeking copies of any of the following documents entered into by Northumbria Police in relation to its use of services provided by Equifax:
a. Data processing contract(s)
b. Memorandum(s) of understanding
c. Service level agreement(s)
In Response:
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Procurement Department of Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is not held by Northumbria Police. We can find no information that meets the criteria of your submission as we don’t have a contract with Equifax.
You should note that had information been held exemptions could have been applied to withhold where deemed necessary.
