Spend
HM Treasury Guidance requires us to publish expenditure (payments) over £25,000. We are publishing details of all our expenditure. Not all of the expenditure results in a charge to the Agency’s budgets, for example season ticket loans, payroll deductions but as the Agency has made a payment we have included the information. In accordance with Data Protection and the Guidance we have replaced the names of staff with the term “Agency Staff Member”.
We have published our files in an easy access format (csv) for each month of operation of the Agency. In future these files will be uploaded on the fifteenth working day each month. The files contain the following information required by HM Treasury:
-
date of payment
-
expense type, for example: stationery, water
-
expense area, for example: HR Human Resources
-
the payee
-
transaction number
-
value of the payment
Where the item we have paid has more than one expense type and / or expense area there is a line devoted to each but these related lines share the same transaction number. The original transaction’s total can be calculated by adding lines with the same transaction number. Typical transactions are purchase invoices, funding allocations, staff expenses and bank charges. Despite being exempt, summarised payroll information has also been included.
Please note that staff claim expenses for periods ranging from a day to a number of months. In general the larger the value the longer the period for which payment is being made. With the exception of staff expenses claims, a line in the file for an invoiced expense, for example mobile phones, car hire, or accommodation can relate to any number of staff who work in the same expense area.
Our forecast annual expenditure exceeds £5bn for the financial year ended 31 March 2011.

Government Procurement Card
The Agency uses a form of credit card known as Government Procurement Card, which is a cost effective way of purchasing goods and services and is widely used in the public sector. The card provider issues monthly statements of our transactions and we settle the full outstanding amount by direct debit approximately seven days after the statement date, thereby avoiding interest charges. These direct debits feature in the spend files above as a single line.
Below you will find csv files that detail each statement’s transactions, starting with the April 2011 statement (paid in May 2011). For each transaction the file shows:
-
date of transaction
-
value including VAT
-
the supplier
-
expenditure type
-
transaction number
