two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The ICO is the UK's independent body set up to uphold information rights. Our purpose as a regulator is informed by a range of statutory duties across 11 separate legal frameworks.
These legislative frameworks are set by Parliament. While we are independent in how we set and deliver our objectives, we are accountable to Parliament and the public for the outcomes we achieve through a variety of regulatory interventions. For example:
•the provision of advice;
•offering guidance and tools;
•publishing formal Opinions;
•undertaking audits and inspections;
•issuing recommendations from complaints and breach reports;
•mandating changes to practice or processes; and
•where necessary, issuing monetary penalties.
Our aim is to provide certainty. We deliver a range of services to help organisations understand and comply with their obligations, always aware of the difference between minimum legal requirements and good practice advice. We also work to ensure people know their rights, and to enable wide-ranging societal and economic benefits.
The ICO’s Freedom of Information (FOI) and Transparency Directorate is responsible for promoting good practice in how public authorities make their information available to the public, and deals with complaints for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI), Environmental Information Regulation (EIR) or the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (RPSI).
