Section 31 - Law Enforcement
The Trust is withholding certain contractual and supplier information due to an increase in fraud attempts.
This is where we believe the requested information could be used in relation to mandate fraud. This would likely prejudice the Trust in terms of a third-party recreating invoices and sending them to the Trust for payment to be made using amended bank transfer details; meaning pubic money could be paid to an incorrect fraudulent third-party.
Mandate fraud takes place when someone gets in touch claiming to be from an organisation you regularly pay such as a supplier, membership or subscription service asking for a change of bank account details, payment diversion or supplier account takeover.
Section 31 is a qualified exemption; therefore, the public interest in withholding the information should outweigh the public interest in its disclosure.
The Trust has applied the public interest test and has based our decision on:
• Disclosure would assist the promotion of openness and transparency in our decisions and public spending
• The Trust already proactively publishes amounts relating to better payment practice code via our annual accounts and reports in accordance with our obligations under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Regulation 113 Notice
• There is a strong public interest in ensuring we protect public funds, thus avoiding payments made to fraudulent third parties
• Disclosure could result in a failure to safeguard financial information, leaving the Trust vulnerable to crime.
For the reasons set out above, the Trust has decided that it is in the public interest to withhold certain information at this time.
