University of Cambridge

A guide to the information we publish

Introduction

Cambridge Enterprise has adopted the latest Model Publication Scheme produced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the independent authority responsible for compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). As Cambridge Enterprise is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Cambridge, this Guide to Information has been produced in accordance with the Information Commissioner’s Definition Document for Universities and other Higher Education Institutions.

This Guide was last updated November 2020.

Layout

This Guide contains information grouped into the following seven categories, as delineated by the ICO:

  • Who we are and what we do
  • What we spend and how we spend it
  • What our priorities are and how we are doing
  • How we make decisions
  • Our policies and procedures
  • Lists and registers
  • The services we offer

Copies of requested datasets are published on the most appropriate pages of Cambridge Enterprise’s website depending on their contents.

Information is not published in this Scheme:

  1. where Cambridge Enterprise does not hold it,
  2. where Cambridge Enterprise considers is to be exempt under one of the exemptions in Part II of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, or Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) exceptions, or its release is prohibited under another statute;
  3. where it is archived, out-of-date, or otherwise inaccessible; or
  4. where Cambridge Enterprise considers that it would be impractical or resource-intensive to prepare the material for routine release.

Format

This website contains much of the information that Cambridge Enterprise publishes. Many of the documents are in digital format and can be downloaded from the site free of charge.

Charges

Most of the information contained in the Publication Scheme and listed in this Guide can be downloaded from the Cambridge Enterprise website free of charge. Cambridge Enterprise reserves the right to make a small charge for printed copies of some documents available on the website, to cover administrative costs.

Responsibility

This guide scheme is regularly reviewed and updated. Cambridge Enterprise welcomes feedback about both the information provided and the access to it. Comments should be directed to the Information Officer by email to enquiries@enterprise.cam.ac.uk, noting ‘Freedom of Information’ in the email subject. Further information can be found on our Freedom of Information pages.
