Supplier Payments over £500

In response to the Government’s request that Local Authorities publish details of payments to external suppliers Wigan Council is publishing the following information.

The dataset shown is based on a list of all individual transactions over £500 based on the following column headings.

• Supplier Name
• Service Area
• Department
• Transaction Number
• Transaction Date
• Amount

The dataset is based on payment transactions generated by the Council’s Corporate Purchasing and Financial Information System (Agresso Business World).

Following an upgrade to the Agresso system on 1 April 2011, the main dataset now includes over 99% of all Authority spend with external suppliers and therefore there may be an increase in the overall quantum of the data, in comparison to previous years, from April 2011 onwards.

A second dataset is also included from April 2011 onward showing all transaction over £500 made on Council Purchase Cards.

Data is published in .csv format to allow users to view and manipulate data as required
