Payments to suppliers with a value over £500 from Bristol City Council

Bristol City Council individual payments to suppliers with a value over £500 made within the month. Publication of these lists forms part of the Council's commitment to be open and transparent with its residents. Each report shows: •supplier name •amount •description of what was bought •purchasing department •payment date •transaction number The amounts shown exclude VAT. Where payments under £500 appear in a report, this is either because once the VAT element is included the total is more than £500, or because an invoice for more than £500 has been broken down to reflect different items of purchase which could also include credits such as discounts. Payments made using purchase cards are presented as a separate report. The reports do not include: •banking investments •salaries •refunds •member allowances •employee remuneration payments •benefits and homelessness payments Individual's names are not shown and are replaced with the word "redacted".
