My request is as follows:

2- If the answer to question 1 is yes, please provide details of all such contracts, including:

a- A brief description of the contract (e.g., Intelligent Automation Services, Software, etc.)

b- The date the contract was awarded

c- The total value of the contract awarded to Infosys Limited

3- If any contracts exist with Infosys Limited within the specified data range, please disclose the total amount (in British pounds) paid to Infosys Limited by NHS Shared Business Services from January 1, 2019, to June 5, 2024.

I would be grateful if this information could be disclosed within 20 working days of receiving this request, or even sooner if possible.

Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter.

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 5 June 2024.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

Our response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA.

Advice and Assistance

Having reviewed your request, I believe that it is possible that other NHS organisations may hold some or all of the information you require.
