Good afternoon Mr Gothe-Snape
I refer to your correspondence received by the Department of Employment (the Department) on 31 January 2017 (attached), in which you requested access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) to the following documents:
Records as defined in the Commonwealth Procurement Rules clause 7.2 relating to the tender referenced by the CN ID of CN3174232.
The Department will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the amount of any such charge as soon as practicable. Should a charge be imposed, you will have an opportunity to make submissions that the charge should be waived.
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may be published in a disclosure log on the Department’s website. Section 11C of the FOI Act requires this publication, however it is subject to certain exceptions, including where publication of personal, business, professional or commercial information would be unreasonable.
Should you have any queries about this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me via email: [email address].
Yours sincerely
James Ramsay
