Contractual arrangements

We believe it is important to be open about how we spend money. 

£5,000 to £25,000 

Each quarter we publish a list of all transactions we make:

• relating to our contractual arrangements
• with third party providers
• with a value of between £5,000 and £25,000

The transactions show:

• who we paid
• how much we paid
• what this was for

The reports are prepared and published 30 days after the end of each quarter.

Quarterly reports

Reports are listed by financial quarter.

There may be several supplier names within the reports where the name has been replaced by "Redacted Personal Data." 

That follows Government guidelines for when a payment has been made to an individual, and the publication of their name may contravene the data protection act. 

Examples of these types of payments include (but are not limited to):

• adult social care payments
• payments to foster carers
