Spending over £500

Every month the council publishes a list of all payments made over £500, showing who was paid, how much, and for what.

Spending, for the purposes of these reports includes that on goods, supplies and services, transport, contracts, and grants but excludes payroll, benefits, financing and investment expenditure.

Payments to suppliers, contractors, sole traders, government, councils, and other public bodies will be shown. However, under the Data Protection Act it excludes payments made to staff, and redacts personal information such as the names of private individuals receiving payments e.g. foster care, council tax refunds.

Monthly spending reports

The reports are in comma delimited format (CSV) and are listed chronologically by month below, and are freely re-usable under the licence:

If you have a question about a specific payment, please include the reference number of the payment, the supplier, the amount you are querying, and the month of the report in your request. You can submit the information request by email to spending@knowsley.gov.uk.

You will receive a response within 20 working days, although we will not release the information if an exemption applies. If the exemption takes the council longer than 20 days to look at, we will give an estimate of when a decision will be made.
