School Supply Spends
Dear Leeds City Council,
I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Leeds 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 year 2014/2015
Yours faithfully,
Deborah McBurney
Location Manager
