Dear South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust,
Thank you for publishing your spend data here: https://www.scas.nhs.uk/about-scas/procu... . However, I notice that you haven't published any spending data since November 2021.
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.
I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for all transactions over £25,000 from December 2021 to at most a month 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:
