Supply Costs - Education

Deborah McBurney made this Freedom of Information request to Wakefield City Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

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 2011/12

Yours faithfully,

Deborah McBurney
