Can I see data on the council's counter fraud work?

The Local Government Transparency Code requires the council to publish information about its counter-fraud work, this can be accessed on our whistleblowing page.

Can I see Payment Performance Statistics?

The council seeks to pay undisputed invoices to the terms agreed with suppliers and is required to publish payment performance data under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, section 113(7).

We are required to publish the percentage of invoices paid within 30 days, the interest liability for late payments and the amount paid in interest as charged by suppliers.

Please note: the council aims to pay all undisputed invoices and not just those from contractors, subject to receipt of a valid and undisputed invoice within 30 days. The published data below reflects all invoices/payments, and not just contractor invoices as there are many invoices other than those made in respect of services or supplies made pursuant to a public services contract.

Our finance system does not identify periods where an invoice has been in dispute, or on hold. Therefore, the interest value below, that has been calculated, is overstated.

Payment Performance Statistics for the following financial years are summarised below:

Year Percentage of invoices paid within 30 days Interest the Authority was liable to pay Suppliers under Regulation 113 The amount of interest actually paid in discharge of a liability under Regulation 113
