Supply Costs

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Wakefield City Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Deborah McBurney

Dear Wakefield City Council,
I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Wakefield LEA
to third parties in relation to temporary agency staffing cover.
My hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid
through
the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:
1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should
avoid any printing cost issues.
2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from
peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from
your main system (I would like you to advise which system this
is).
By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of
the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are made
through
separate systems, then I would like you to choose the main system
for each.
3. The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year Sept 2014 to April 2015 if possible.

Yours faithfully,

Deborah McBurney

FAO Deborah McBurnley,

 

I have been tasked with completing this response, but seek clarity of your
Note (4).

 

It states:-  4. I would like the information to cover the year Sept 2014
to April 2015 if possible.

 

Normally requests of this nature cover our financial year (01/04/14 to
31/03/15), or very occasionally ask for Academic years – your request
isn’t a ‘year’ as such, so is your request a financial year or should I
compile costs that hit our financial ledger , e.g. between the dates of
01/09/14 to 30/04/15, i.e. 8 full months?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul.

Hi Galina,

 

Firstly apologies – I meant to cc you into this request for clarity of the
time period required.

 

Also, by today I should have a very similar FOI finalised, albeit for the
period 01/04/14 to 31/03/15, so if the person making the request is happy
with the information covering this period, then it would be available.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul.

Dear Ms McBurney,

I refer to your enquiry under the provisions of the FOIA. Question 4 of your request asks for information to cover the year Sept 2014 to April 2015. Our records are held in the financial year (01/04/14 to 31/03/15) format and very occasionally in the academic year. Could you please clarify which year, ie financial or academic, do you require the information.

Unless I receive this information from you I will not be able to assist you with this part of your enquiry.

Many thanks
