Transparency code

Spend and purchase orders

As part of the council's commitment to demonstrating value for money and local government transparency, we publish details of all our spending over £500, purchase orders raised over £5,000 and all credit card transactions.

Spend over £500

The information shows any payment made to a supplier which was greater than £500 and represents individual net payments, the name of the supplier, the nature of the expense and the amount paid. Payments are listed quarterly.

As a Local governing body, NBBC can recover VAT incurred on exempt supplies, under the section 33 of the VAT act 1994, whilst VAT linked to exempt income falls under the 5% total VAT incurred for all purchases. NBBC currently meets this requirement and therefore all VAT inccurred is recoverable.

Purchase orders over £5,000

The information shows any order raised to a supplier which was greater than £5,000. This report does not relate to payments, it represents the Council's commitment to spend money. Orders are listed quarterly.

Credit card transactions

The information shows all payments made via a credit card. Transactions are listed quarterly.

If you require information relating to previous financial years please email creditors@nuneatonandbedworth.gov.uk and we will be happy to supply you with this data.

For the purposes of grants to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations under the local government transparency code, it is deemed to be included in the quarterly reports published under spend over £500 and credit card transactions.
