When viewing payments to suppliers over £500 information

The following points should be taken into consideration when viewing payments to suppliers over £500 information:

• The information is provided for invoices paid in the reporting period, which is not necessarily when the goods or services were received.
• The information is expenditure only and does not reflect any income in relation to the expenditure. For example there may be external funding or the expenditure generates income e.g. through the sale of tickets etc.

Please note that it is likely that the provision of this data will be delayed while the council is focused on its response to the covid-19 pandemic and due to technical difficulties in compiling the data remotely.
