Payments to suppliers over £500

The Local government transparency code 2015 makes it mandatory for local authorities to publish expenditure data as follows:

expenditure exceeding £500
government procurement card transactions (no lower limit)
at least quarterly; and
no later than one month after the quarter to which the data and information is applicable

For each individual item of expenditure, the following information must be published:

date the expenditure was incurred
local authority department which incurred the expenditure
beneficiary
summary of the purpose of the expenditure
amount
Value Added Tax (VAT) that cannot be recovered
merchant category

Please note that we recover all VAT and only orders raised by order will show a summary of the expenditure incurred. Any procurement card spend over £500 can be found within the Procurement card transactions.

Publication of these lists forms part of the authority's commitment to be open and transparent with our residents.
