We released information relating to spending on procurement cards as part of a previous request for information (ref: FOI2011-100), which is published on our website. This request covered the period since the authority was established to 31 October 2011. The FOIA states that information that is accessible by other means is not subject to release. Therefore, as the information you have requested is already available on our website, it is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA (information accessible to applicant by other means) and under Section 22(1) of the FOIA (Information intended for future publication).
Information relating to spending on procurement cards from 1 November 2011 to date of request is contained in Annex A.
Please note that all expenditure has been approved for payment in accordance to the IPSA Staff Expenses Policy.
A number of the items listed in Annex A are labelled “reward and recognition”. IPSA’s staff reward and recognition scheme enables staff to nominate colleagues for modest awards in recognition of outstanding performance. Those receiving such an award can elect to receive a gift voucher from a high-street retailer and some of the items listed in relation to reward and recognition are for such vouchers.
