Companies House 03914998. This site found these numbers by matching the supplier name a council published against the Companies House register. The two names agree once small differences such as Ltd and Limited are set aside, and the search returned no other active company with that name. A match on name alone can point to a different company with the same name, so check the register entry before relying on it.

What each council published, by year

These councils are not comparable with one another. They hold different numbers of years, publish above different thresholds and buy different things, so a larger figure here means more was published and read, not that one council spent more freely than another. An empty cell is a year not held, never a year of nothing.

The largest payments published

A description is the council's own wording on the row. A large single payment is often a scheduled settlement of many smaller invoices, and this site does not know which of these are.

Which councils and years contributed

Covers 33 councils and 11 financial years in the AI DOGE corpus. Councils and years not listed have not been ingested and are not zero.

A council that is not on this list has not been ingested for this supplier. That is a statement about this site's holdings and not about the council, and it is never a zero.

How this page was built

A supplier gets a page of its own when ten or more councils published a payment to it, or when at least £10m was published to it in a single financial year. That cut is a size, not a judgement, and it is applied the same way to every supplier.

Names are matched across councils by a canonical form of the supplier string each council published. Two councils spelling the same company differently are joined; a company and its subsidiary are not, unless the councils wrote the same name. Payments a council withheld are counted in that council's own totals and are on no page as a name. A Companies House number, where one is shown, comes from this site's own name match and plays no part in joining councils' payments together.
