Transactions over £25,000 from February 2020

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust,

Thank you for publishing your spend data here: https://www.rdehospital.nhs.uk/about-us/... . However, I notice that you haven't published any spending data since January 2020.

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 February 2020 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:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio.... This letter makes it clear that this guidance applies to the NHS: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/sy....

For the avoidance of doubt, I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act. I await your response within 20 working days.

Yours Faithfully,

Anna Pongracz

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your Email. We are unable to process this request under the Freedom of Information Act under Section 22. This is that the information is intended for Future Publication as such cannot fall under the FOI umbrella.

Please note, due to Covid-19 there has been a situation where the Trust Finance teams and all other Divisions have been put under extreme pressure, and this will reflect in their delay in uploading the information you request onto the Trust Website.

Under section 16 under of the freedom of information Act in a bid to assist, we have requested that the most current information be uploaded to the Trust Website as soon as possible.

Best wishes

Freedom of Information Team
