Transparency in purchasing

We are committed to making it easier for you to see how we spend our money within the organisation and on external partners and suppliers.

We intend to provide additional information over and above the requirements of the Government's new transparency regulations in regard to purchasing and procurement, however this will take time as we begin to collect additional information about our suppliers.

Set out below are links to information on the contracts that the Council is currently entered into, along with a list of all purchase orders raised with a value of £5,000 and above. It is our intention to update these on a quarterly basis. In addition to this the Council also publishes a monthly list of all payments it has made over £500.

• expenditure exceeding £500
• purchase orders and contracts
• corporate purchase card transactions
