Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your recent request for information which I have enclosed
below for ease of reference. Your request has been treated in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and/or the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.

Your Request :  REQ11326

I can confirm that we do not hold information that falls within the scope
of your request.

Original questions and answers.

Thank you for publishing your spend data here: [3]spend data

However, I notice that you haven't published any spending data since
December.

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.

We’ve decided to continue to use the FOI process to request data as this
gives us both a formal structure for making and responding to requests.
So, I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for
all transactions over £500 from January to at most a quarter 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.

The requested information will be available on our [4]website within the
next 20 days. As the information is due to be published in the near future
it is exempt from disclosure under Section 22 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2018.

I hope this provides the information you were looking for; if there is any
further information that we can provide, please submit a further request.
If you have any queries about this email or if you are unhappy with the
service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please contact me.

If you are not content with the subsequent outcome of your complaint, you
may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
Councils complaints procedure. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: The Information Commissioners Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

For future reference, all Freedom of Information requests can now be
submitted via the link below.
