Agency Staffing Spend Leeds

The request was successful.

Dear Education Leeds Limited,

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Leeds 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 2011/12

Yours faithfully,

Jaime Sherwell

Please find attached a spreadsheet which contains the information you have

dissatisfied with this response then you have a right to appeal to an
independent officer within children’s services. On appeal, your request
will be re-examined and an assessment made as to whether the requirements
of the Act have been adhered to. Should you wish to follow this course of
action then please address your concerns in writing to Moin Patel,

You also have a right under Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act
to ask the Information Commissioner to take a decision as to whether we
have met with our obligations under the Act.  The Commissioner has made it
clear however that he expects all applicants to exhaust internal appeals
