Request
Dear sir,
I'm writing to you to request information under the FOI Act 2000. Specifically I request the following.
A) The number of students housed in private provided purpose built student accommodation (PBSA), provided by providers like Unite, IQ Student Accommodation and Liberty Living, for each of the last 8 academic years. This should be broken down by year, such that the figure for each year (e.g. 2012 = x number, 2013 = y number etc)
b) The number of bed rented under 'nomination agreements' (where the university enters into a contract with a private PBSA provided to guarantee a room will be filled by one of its students at a given rent), for any and all academic years that are available, broken down by year where possible.
c) Scanned copies of any documentation related to these 'nomination agreements'
Please provide this information in electronic format, as either a spreadsheet or scanned document where appropriate.
Yours sincerely,
Response
