Contract for the disposal of IT hardware

RFI-2024-1320
Tuesday, 5 November 2024

Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am hopeful you can help me with my enquiry. Please can you advise the following information:
1. Does the Council currently have a contract for the disposal of IT hardware from corporate offices and schools?
2. If a contract is in place, which organisation(s) manages the contract?
3. When does the contract expire?
4. If no contract, what is done with the redundant IT equipment?
5. Does the organisation have a separate arrangement in place for the onsite shredding of data-bearing assets, such as hard disks, solid state drives, USB devices, CDs and data tapes, or is data-containing equipment erased/destroyed by your contracted IT hardware disposal provider?
6. Who within the organisation has overall responsibility for the disposal of IT hardware?

Response

1. No
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. Provided back to community groups. If redundant IT equipment is badly damaged or not fit for community groups, a WEEE disposal collection is setup – utilising a range of suppliers as an ad hoc collection.
5. ADHOC and not the same as the WEEE collection.
6. ICT & Digital Services Business Manager
