View payments to suppliers over £500
As a Local Authority we aim to secure the best possible value for money for our local tax payers in all our contracts, and there are a number of different routes that the Council can take to help secure this.
The Council requires certain information from suppliers before entering into an arrangement, and therefore suppliers are advised to become familiar with the Council's standard procedures for purchasing.
Payments to suppliers over £500
We as a Council believe that it is important to be open and transparent with our local residents in terms of how we spend our money. Suppliers should be aware that the Council is providing this information as part of the Governments commitment to increasing transparency across public services.
The information provided within the reports will include:
- Transactions for values greater than £500 to external suppliers
- Spend incurred in providing services
Certain information that is excluded from the reports includes:
- Treasury Investments
- Precept Payments
- Salary Advances
- Severance Payments
- Council Tax and Non Domestic Rate Refunds
- Benefit Payments
- Members Allowances (as this information is already available to the public)
- Employee Remuneration (as senior staff remuneration information is also already published)
We aim to be as transparent as we can, but in some cases we will need to respect information that could be seen as commercially sensitive. Where necessary, and to protect confidentiality, the supplier identity may also be withheld.
