Transactions over £25,000 from January 2020

The request was successful.

Dear South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust,

Thank you for publishing your spend data here: https://www.swast.nhs.uk/p/expenditure-o.... However, I notice that you haven't published any spending data since December 2019.

I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for all transactions over £25,000 from January 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.

We understand that due to the COVID-19 pandemic it may not have been a priority to publish your spending data. However, it is still important to us to send out these letters and we would be extremely grateful if you could update this information after this difficult period passed. We believe that data is still major, even during these crucial times and we wish nothing but the best for everyone to recover from this situation.

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
