11. The council does use the G-Cloud framework in the procurement process of various services and solutions as required. However, the Council has a contract with Serco, for the management of their IT services and support.

Serco are responsible for their own procurement. Serco is a private company and is therefore not covered by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Broadly only organisations considered public authorities are covered by the legislation. This means FOI requests cannot be made to businesses and private companies generally.

Therefore, Lincolnshire County Council does not hold this information regarding the Serco contract.
