Government Departments: Electronic Purchasing Card Solution

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 12 December 2024UIN 18217

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of variations in practice on the publication of Government Procurement Card and Electronic Purchasing Card transaction data by Government Departments.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The policy setting out the requirement to publish Government Procurement Card transactions over £500 remains in place. This is available to all government departments on gov.uk at the following link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5e8b402686650c18ce2cb541/Procurement_Cards_-_Pan_Government_Policy_V4_06042020.pdf

The policy clearly sets out the standard that departments must publish to, which includes transaction date, transaction reference, merchant name and the amount spent.
