Response
Response Sent: 15 April 2020
I can confirm UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) hold the information relevant to your request.
All the organisations stated in your request utilise the Managed Print Service contract, with the exceptions of the Institute of Food Research (now the Quadram Institute) and Rothamsted Research, which I can confirm have separate print contracts.
Please also note that the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is now an independent research institute and company limited by guarantee with charitable status, therefore it no longer forms part of NERC or UKRI and is no longer included in the MPS contract.
