We now publish all items of expenditure over £500 on our website each month. As part of our commitment to providing financial transparency we will list individual payments to suppliers with a value of over £500 including VAT (including credit notes).

The reports listed below are in month order, in ‘pdf’ format for general viewing and in machine readable ‘csv’ format. This information is made available for use under the Open Government Licence (see link).

It should be noted that the majority of payments to each supplier add up to £500 or more, but some individual payments of less than £500 are included due to complications in compiling the data. The process is being reviewed and improved for future datasets.

Please refer to the webpage links to access the data files. The data files are grouped in six-monthly periods, eg 2010-11 April to September, 2010-11 October to March 2011, 2011-12 April to September, etc.

The council is committed to providing information in accordance with national guidelines. Contact us using the details on this page if you have any queries.

• Supplier name
• Amount
• Date
• Expense type
• Service area category

Reports exclude:

• Payments made to staff
• Sensitive personal information, for example payments to foster carers
• Payments which could reveal personal details

For a complete list, see the attachment 'Transactions that may be excluded from publication'.
