RFI20110554 (Original Request RFI20100457) 8th June 2011 Request for Information – RFI20110554 (Original Request RFI20100457) Thank you for your request of 11 May 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’) seeking the following information (narrowing your original request RF120100457): Can I please have a full list of your suppliers in spend for those suppliers with spend over £25,000 in the financial year 10/11 excluding spend in the production resources category (as these suppliers provide services relating to our programme making therefore the information for them is highly likely not to be covered by the Act)” order (starting with the largest). The reference number for your request is RFI20110554. Please find in the enclosed document the information you requested. Please note that the BBC considers a ‘supplier’ as an external provider of services or goods to the BBC in response to a purchase order and is paid through the accounts payable system. The external suppliers of goods and services in the attached appendix 1 includes all suppliers that the BBC traded with during the 12 months 1st April 2010 – 31st March 2011 where the spend during that period was £25,000 or greater. We have excluded the names of approximately 19 individuals who have received payments from the BBC. It is highly likely that the majority of these individuals were not external providers of goods or services to the BBC and therefore do not fall within the definition of ‘supplier’ outlined. However it is possible that a small number of these individuals would fall within the definition outlined above. I estimate that to identify whether these individuals constitute external providers of goods and services (and to therefore identify whether their names were information relevant to your request) would take more than two and a half days because it would require us to drill down into purchase order and/or invoicing paperwork associated with the payment in order to identify the reason for the payment; under section 12 of the Act, we are allowed to refuse to handle the request if it would exceed the 'appropriate limit'. The appropriate limit has been set by the Regulations (SI 2004/3244) as being £450 (equivalent to two and a half days work, at an hourly rate of £25). Appeal Rights If you are not satisfied that the BBC has complied with the Act in responding to your request you have the right to an internal review by a BBC senior manager or legal adviser. Please contact us at the address above, explaining what you would like us to review under the Act and including your reference number. If you are not satisfied with the internal review, you can appeal to the Information Commissioner. The contact details are: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, telephone 01625 545 700 or see http://www.ico.gov.uk/ Yours sincerely Paul Bennett Head of Procurement Operations Freedom of Information From January 2005 the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities. The Act also sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities. The term “public authority” is defined in the Act; it includes all public bodies and government departments in the UK. The BBC, Channel 4 and S4C are the only broadcasters covered by the Act. Application to the BBC The BBC has a long tradition of making information available and accessible. It seeks to be open and accountable and already provides the public with a great deal of information about its activities. BBC Information operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week handling telephone and written comments and queries, and the BBC’s website bbc.co.uk provides an extensive online information resource. It is important to bear this in mind when considering the Freedom of Information Act and how it applies to the BBC. The Act does not apply to the BBC in the way it does to most public authorities in one significant respect. It recognises the different position of the BBC (as well as Channel 4 and S4C) by saying that it covers information “held for purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”. This means the Act does not apply to information held for the purposes of creating the BBC’s output (TV, radio, online etc), or information that supports and is closely associated with these creative activities. A great deal of information within this category is currently available from the BBC and will continue to be so. If this is the type of information you are looking for, you can check whether it is available on the BBC’s website bbc.co.uk or contact BBC Information. The Act does apply to all of the other information we hold about the management and running of the BBC. The BBC The BBC's aim is to enrich people's lives with great programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain. It broadcasts radio and television programmes on analogue and digital services in the UK. It delivers interactive services across the web, television and mobile devices. The BBC's online service is Europe's most widely visited content site. Across the world, the BBC broadcasts radio programmes in 32 languages on the BBC World Service and the 24 hour television service, BBC World News. The BBC's remit as a public service broadcaster is defined in the BBC Charter and Agreement. It is the responsibility of the BBC Trust (the sovereign body within the BBC) to ensure that the organisation delivers against this remit by setting key objectives, approving strategy and policy, and monitoring and assessing performance. The Trustees also safeguard the BBC's independence and ensure the Corporation is accountable to its audiences and to Parliament. Day-to-day operations are run by the Director-General and his senior management team, the Executive Board. All BBC output in the UK is funded by an annual Licence Fee. This is determined and regularly reviewed by Parliament. Each year, the BBC publishes an Annual Report & Accounts, and reports to Parliament on how it has delivered against its public service remit.

  • Regulatory Appraisal Education
    REGULATORY APPRAISAL EDUCATION, WALES THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR WALES (TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES AND ABOLITION) ORDER 2005 Background 1. The decision to merge the functions of the National Council for Education and Training for Wales (ELWa) into the Education and Lifelong Learning Department of the National Assembly for Wales is part of a wider agenda of the Welsh Assembly Government to deliver quality public services which are more joined-up, more responsive to people and businesses, and more efficient. Purpose and intended effect of the measure 2. This Order will transfer the functions (together with any property, rights and liabilities) of the National Council for Training and Education for Wales (ELWa) to the National Assembly for Wales; provides for the transfer of staff from ELWa to the National Assembly for Wales; makes appropriate consequential, incidental, transitional and supplementary provisions; and abolishes ELWa. 3. ELWa is responsible for planning, funding, promoting and quality assuring post-16 education and training in Wales, with the exception of higher education. This includes further education, private and voluntary sector training provision, adult and community learning and school sixth forms. Risk Assessment 4. The purpose of the legislation is not about addressing risks or hazards. The probability of any significant risk or harm arising as a result of this legislation proceeding or not is likely to be minimal. It is intended that existing functions should continue and, where possible, improvements to the services made. Options Option 1: Do Nothing 5. Without the transfer of functions of ELWa to the National Assembly for Wales the merger of ELWa into the National Assembly for Wales cannot be implemented.

With the evolution of television in New Zealand moving into the digital age, such as Sky Television and the introduction of Freeview, the switching of radio from analogue to a digital form promises to follow closely behind. The reason digital radio is of major interest in New Zealand is because the Government, along with a digital service provider and some of the nation’s major broadcasters, have been trialling a digital service. But, for New Zealand there are still uncertainties over which digital option to choose, how best to introduce it and control growth, what impact it will have on existing stations, and what will happen to the current market when new stations are established? New Zealand broadcasting and telecommunications company Kordia has already trialled a digital service, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), but the Government is yet to commit to a long-term rollout of the technology.
