This covers what North Somerset Council publishes above its threshold, which is a part of what it spends, not all of it. Wages and payments below the threshold are not in it.

Largest suppliers in 2025/26

Payments to named individuals are counted in the total above but never listed here. A linked supplier has a cross council page showing what every council this site holds published about paying it, which is a lower bound and never a total.

Publication

This card compares the rule against the spending files this site holds. It does not check this council's own page. Where the council has published since this site last read its files, this card is out of date, and telling us is one email. Tell us we are wrong .

Up to date, as held here Latest payment held here: 2026-04-21

Latest payment held here: 2026-04-21. Under paragraph 27 a payment dated 2026-04-21 should have been published by 2026-07-31. We have not confirmed whether the council has published since we last read its files.

Part 2 of the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 requires spending over £500 to be published quarterly, and not later than one month after the quarter it covers. This council publishes payments over £500, the amount paragraph 28 names.

About this data
The threshold
North Somerset Council publishes payments of £500 and over. Anything below that is not in the file the council published and is not in this table, so the totals here are not the council's total spending.
Net or gross
Amounts are the values in the council's own file. The totals row adds them as published, so a credit note reduces the total in the same way it reduced the council's spending. The year total shown at the top of this page is £360,915,144.
Refunds and reversals
£56,742,859 of the payments in the latest year held are credits and reversals. They are in this table as negative amounts and they reduce every total the filter produces.
What is not in the file
Staff pay, pensions and anything else a council pays without raising a supplier invoice. Payments below the threshold the council set. Money the council received. Any period the council has not published: this table holds 2005/06 to 2026/27. Part years held: 2005/06, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2026/27.
Payments to individuals
A council is required to withhold the name of a private individual. Those rows read "Individual (name withheld)", they are not in the supplier filter, and they are counted in every total. The name is not held here.
Coverage
Records held for 2005/06 to 2026/27, of which 3 complete financial years. Figures shown are for 2025/26, the most recent year held in full. Its total is checked against this council's published revenue account budget, because the outturn return for that year is not due for about another two years.
