Contracts and grants register
We have published our contract register, which lists the council's contracts, purchase orders and grants (including grants to the voluntary sector).
This data does not include details of invitation to tender for contracts as these are published individually in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and/or on Contracts Finder as and when they are advertised.
Derivation
The data is taken from the procurement department's records.
| Column | Title | Reason for leaving blank |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Contract type | We do not hold this data in a usable format |
| 9 and 10 | Service Category label and URI | We do not hold SerCop objective categories in the relevant system |
| 13 and 14 | CPV label and URI | We do not hold CPV codes in the relevant system |
| 15 and 16 | Proclass label and URI | We do not hold Proclass categories in our systems |
| 19 | Review date | We do not hold this in a usable format |
| 34 | Nominated contact point: URL | We do not hold this information |

| 5 | Open Contracting ID | We have not yet been allocated an OCID prefix, but hope to obtain one soon |
| 25 | Supplier registered company number | We only hold this for a minority of suppliers. We aim to include more suppliers in future |
| 31 | VCSE supplier type | We do not hold this in our systems but are working on adding it |
| 36 | Tender document URL | We hope to publish a link to the contract notice in the future |
| Column | Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Contract reference number | For purchase orders over £5000 with no associated contract, this refers to the purchase order number and is identifiable as it is in a different format from contract reference numbers referring to contracts |
| 17 | Contract start date | This is not available for all contracts, but will be populated for all new contracts. It does not apply for purchase orders |
| 18 and 20 | End date and last extension date | Contracts without fixed end dates have provision to terminate with a defined amount of notice. It does not apply for purchase orders |
| 21 | Contract value | Most contracts are not for a set amount: charges depend on usage. Actual spend contract-by-contract is included in the £500 spend data published separately |
| 29 | SME supplier | At this stage the flag only identifies suppliers which are small enterprise according to their account classification. We will improve this data as soon as possible |
| 30 | VCSE supplier | This data is taken from the Buy Social directory with a few manual corrections for obvious errors |
| 32-34 | Nominated contact point | This is not applicable for POs |
| 35-37 | Tender process type, tender document URL, contract document URL | This is not applicable for POs |

Publication
We will publish an updated contract register at least quarterly as required by the Local Government Transparency Code 2014.
Due to technical difficulties we were unable to publish a complete register for February 2024.
Unfortunately due to a technical issue, some data was missing from the earlier publication of the May 2024 register. Please use the later version.
Due to migration to a new system, it is not possible to publish the December 2024 data. We are working on aligning new and old systems and aim to have data published for January 2025.
