Reports on departmental spending over £500 with a government procurement card (GPC).
Documents
Details
Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) publishes details of all spending over £500 using a GPC (departmental debit card) on a monthly basis.
Note
BEIS replaced the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in July 2016.
While we have been able to produce a single BEIS dataset from August 2016 there are some differences as follows.
Ex-DECC GPC transactions are detailed for all expenditure over £500 as extracted from the ex-DECC accounting system. The transactions are published in the month that they are approved rather than the month that the transaction was generated. Transaction References (Column C) are pre-fixed with ‘DECC’.
Ex-BIS GPC transactions are detailed for all expenditure over £500 as extracted from the ex-BIS accounting system. The transactions are published in the month that they are generated. Transaction References (Column C) are pre-fixed with ‘BIS’.
