Thank you for your email, received on 5 February 2026, in which you requested information from the office of the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA 2000) entitles you to:
-
know whether the information you have requested is held by the PCA; and
-
be provided with that information, subject to any exemptions in FOIA 2000 which may apply.
Your email of 5 February 2026 requested the following information:
I’d like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all of your entity’s transactions over £25000 for October to December 2025.
Please provide the data in a machine-readable format (preferably CSV). As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value, and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it.
I can confirm that the office of the PCA does hold information relevant to your request.
However, some of the information you have requested is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of FOIA 2000 on the basis that it is personal information of someone other than the requester and disclosing it would breach the principles of the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
In respect of the information within the scope of your request that is not exempt from disclosure, I can confirm there were three single expenditure transactions over the value of £25,000 between October and December 2025. These three transactions are listed in the table below with the date, value and recipient for each.
| Date | Value of each single transaction (£) | Recipient |
|---|---|---|
| 19/12/25 | 46,800 | Ipsos Market Research |
| 17/11/25 | 48,000 | Ipsos Market Research |
| 14/11/25 | 38,023.75 | Civica UK Limited |

If you do not believe that the office of the PCA has provided an appropriate response to your request, as set out above, you are entitled to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original request and should be made in writing, quoting the above reference, to office@pubscodeadjudicator.gov.uk or the PCA registered address:
4th Floor
23, Stephenson Street,
Birmingham
B2 4BJ
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
