Publication date: October 2022

Request

Dear King’s Printer for Scotland,
I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, the information requested below.
The details we require are:
1. Who is your social media management and monitoring tool supplier?
2. Start date & duration of framework/contract with the supplier
3. Actual spend on this contract/framework (and any sub lots), from the start of the contract to the current date
4. Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?

Outcome

Information not held.

Response

I can confirm that the King’s Printer for Scotland (KPS) does not hold this information. This is because the KPS has no such contracts or staff of its own. Section 92(5) of the Scotland Act specifies that the Queen’s Printer of Acts of Parliament shall hold the Office of Queen’s Printer for Scotland. The KPS is based at The National Archives and the functions of the KPS are carried out from within The National Archives. The staff who deliver these services also support wider legislation publishing across the UK. There are no individual members of staff allocated to the KPS on a full-time basis and anyone who performs KPS duties is an employee of The National Archives.
