Dear Mr Brown
Information Request: FR2684
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 14th April 2011. Your request has been
dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act and is detailed below in italics with our response.
(Please note the extract below has been taken directly from your original information request and is
unedited).
I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Northamptonshire County Council 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 financial year 2010/11.
5. In the event that the supplier names are not available, then please provide the total
amount spent by each individual school as an alternative.
