With regards for the contact details, WMFS ICT Department operates a single point of contact policy and callers are directed to the ICT Service Desk via HQ general contacts on 0330 058 9000. The call will be directed to the ICT Service Desk and allocated to the ICT specialist with responsibility for the specific service. There is a direct email address for suppliers making sales enquires email: procurement.enquires@wmfs.net. Furthermore, guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office is as follows:

· The presumption is in favour of protecting privacy, so the release of personal information will only be fair if there is a genuine reason to disclose. This involves a three-stage test. A public authority will generally have to satisfy itself that:

· There is a legitimate interest in disclosure;

· The legitimate interest can only be met, or fully met, by the disclosure of information which identifies individuals (i.e. the disclosure is necessary to that purpose); and, the disclosure would not involve unwarranted detriment to the individual’s privacy or other rights and legitimate interests.

· You can find out more about FOI exemptions from the Information Commissioner's Office. This will explain which one or more of the FOI exemptions applies, and tell you how to appeal if you disagree with our decision
