Contracts Register
The following information was requested:
I want to submit a request for some information from the organisation, in relation to their contract’s register.
The contract register should display all the organisations existing/live contracts I would like the register to display the following columns/headings:
1. Contract Reference
2. Contract Title
3. Procurement Category
4. Supplier Name
5. Spend (Total or Annual)
6. Contract Duration
7. Contract Extensions
8. Contract Starting Date
9. Expiration Date
10. Contract Description [Please provide me with as much detail as possible.]
11. Contact Owner (Full contact details if possible.)
12. CPV codes/ProClass
IMPORTANT
1. For those organisations planning to make an exemption around spend, the spend information I have requested is an overall figure and I am not requesting a complete breakdown of services relating to the spend.
2. If the organisation has a CRM system or a similar system there should be a facility to download and extract contract data.
3. You may forward me a Web link to a portal to download the contract register, please make sure all of the organisation’s contracts are provided as doing prior research I have found that most organisations have only uploaded a small portion of all of their contracts.
Please do not think that this is the only information I require if you could provide me with more information that would be great.
Contract Data/API Contact Details
13. Can you also provide me with contact details of the person responsible for the actual contract’s register or someone responsible for API? [Name, Job Title, Telephone, Email Address] At the very least provide me with their actual job title.
(Meaning of API “a set of functions and procedures that allow the creation of applications which access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service.”)
You may have received the same request in the past. I am seeking the latest contract register which is not available in organisations website. Hence sending this request again.

Testicular Torsion
The following information was requested:
I am looking for information how many settlements there were for testicular torsion from January 2007 to June 2019 and in what hospital department the claim was initially against.
I understand that this may not be feasible as most litigation would be against the entire trust. IT would be useful for myself as I am currently researching ways to reduce missed torsions in our emergency departments nationally. If possible I would be very grateful for this data.
