Response
A to D
It is considered that providing this information may cause a security risk and therefore it has been refused under Article 42 (a) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.
It is considered that releasing any plans to procure services, hardware or software could prejudice any future competitive tender processes. Article 33 (b) (Commercial interests) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.
Articles applied
Article 33 - Commercial interests
Information is qualified exempt information if –
(a) it constitutes a trade secret; or
(b) its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of a person (including the scheduled public authority holding the information).
Public Interest Test
Given the detailed procurement processes and requirements, it was concluded, at this time, the public interest is outweighed by the potential prejudice to the commercial interests of both the Government of Jersey and to third parties and therefore it the decision was made not to release the information.
Article 42 Law enforcement
Information is qualified exempt information if its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice –
a) the prevention, detection or investigation of crime, whether in Jersey or elsewhere.
Public Interest Test
It is recognised that there is a public interest in providing information in a transparent manner, however this public interest is not considered to outweigh the interests of the government in preventing cyber-crime or maintaining the integrity of its law enforcement assets. It is considered that the release of this information may increase risks, particularly in view of major cyber-attacks that have occurred in other jurisdictions in recent years.
