Purchase orders and suppliers

We have a ‘No purchase order – no payment’ policy and all supplier invoices must quote an order number.

Supplier transactions

All NHS bodies are required to publish details of individual invoices and transactions that are over £25,000. This is in response to guidance from HM Treasury which sets out the scope of the data. We are directed to include all expenditure other than transactions which may be exempted for reasons provided by the Data Protection Act and data that might be a betrayal of a commercial confidence or prejudicial to a legitimate commercial interest. If you have a valid reason to request that any data published in these files should be removed, please submit your details. Data will be published by working day 15 after each month end. Transactions will be included on the basis of payment date and the value of the whole invoice.

A link to the HM Treasury Document: Transparency – Publication of spend over £25,000 Trusts were advised on 25 Oct 10 to remove details of VAT registration numbers and payments to Legal Counsel. Please note: you can also find out more about finance at the Trust by reading our latest annual report, located on the publications page or browsing information published under the Publication Scheme.
