Contractual arrangements

We believe it is important to be open about how we spend money.  All payments to suppliers over £250 (excluding VAT) are published monthly. This information includes all items purchased, payments made to contractors carrying work out on our behalf and other spend incurred in carrying out our business. This detail also contains contractual spend between £5k to £25k as these contracts are formulated by an official purchase order. You can find these reports and further details here . As per our internal policy, all procurements over £25,000 are procured via due process by the procurement teams.

Contractual arrangements above £25,000

Each month we publish an updated list of our contractual arrangements with third party providers above the value of £25,000.

Our current Corporate contracts (excluding social care) above the £25,000 threshold, can be viewed on our public facing contracts register Corporate Contracts 31 October.xlsx 

This register will be refreshed monthly at the end of each calendar month.

All awarded contracts are published, and can be viewed, on Contracts Finder and Find A Tender
