1. Information request
Please may you provide me, in Microsoft Excel or an equivalent electronic format, with a list of invoices that were not paid within 30 days for the last 6 financial years (2017/18 to 2022/23 inclusive) which would feed into the Regulation 113 Notice you are required to publish each year as part of your obligations under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the following information for each invoice (where available):
· The name of the Supplier
· Supplier email address
· Supplier company registration number
· Supplier postal address
· Supplier telephone number
· Supplier website
· The date of the invoice
· The invoice reference
· The gross value of the Invoice
· The date the invoice should have been paid by
· The actual payment date of the invoice
· The total amount of interest liability due to late payment of the invoice
· The total amount of interest paid to the supplier due to late payment of the invoice.
For the avoidance of doubt we request the data behind payment performance summaries for Regulation 113 Notices, not the summaries themselves.
We expect that this information to be readily available and easily accessible in the electronic format requested given the necessity of source data which must have been required to prepare and produce the Regulation 113 Notice.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, or for another reason, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
2. Response
We do not hold the information you have requested. The Social Security Advisory Committee is a statutory independent non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Our financial systems, processes and support are provided by the Department for Work and Pensions, and who arrange payment of this Committee’s invoices.
