The reports below list payments made to suppliers with a value of £500 or over (inclusive of VAT). The reports will be prepared and published on a monthly basis and we will endeavour to publish spend no later than the 25th of each month. Publication of these lists forms part of the Council's commitment to be open and transparent with its residents.
All spend data has been reviewed internally prior to publication. For example, payments to certain individuals and suppliers cannot be disclosed as they are covered by the Data Protection Act. Where this is the case the individual or supplier name has been replaced with the word 'Redacted Personal Data' or 'Redacted Commercial Data'.
Expense types are used to describe the type of spend and their description is available as part of this dataset. The document below entitled 'Redaction Rationale' explains further which items of expenditure are routinely redacted and why. Credit notes, employee and pensions information are not included as part of the data set.
The information is contained within a CSV file so it can be easily read by a variety of applications. However the CSV format uses a standard column width so not all entries may be completely visible. To view the data you will need to expand the columns to an appropriate width.
This data is freely re-usable under the Open Government Licence.
Openly Local

We aim to be as transparent as we can, but in some cases we will need to respect information that is personal to an individual service user or could be seen as commercially sensitive.
