Transactions over £25,000 from November 2020

The request was partially successful.

Dear North Somerset Council,

Thank you for publishing your spend data here: http://data.n-somerset.gov.uk/View/finan... . However, I notice that you haven't published any spending data since October 2020.

We understand that due to the COVID-19 pandemic it may not have been a priority to publish your spending data. However, we strongly believe that the spending data is critical to understanding how Government functions and this data is vital for our work. We would be extremely grateful if you could update this information as soon as reasonably possible.

We’ve decided to continue to use the FOI process to request data as this gives us both a formal structure for making and responding to requests. So, I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all transactions over £500 from November 2020 to at most a quarter in arrears from the date at which you publish in response to this request.

Please provide the data in a machine readable format (preferably csv). As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it.

Your team may also be interested in the guidance on producing spending data:

For the avoidance of doubt, I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act. I await your response within 20 working days.

Yours Faithfully,

Anna Pongracz

Good afternoon

I've just checked the report, and when sorting by Transaction Date, I can see the most recent transaction is dated January of this year. Could I ask you to look again, as I believe the report is up to date.

Kindest regards
