Government Procurement Card (GPC) expenditure

To further underpin our commitment to providing financial transparency, the Council will now be publishing all of its Government Procurement Card (GPC) expenditure. The GPC is a branded purchasing card which the Council uses to make low value purchases for good services and works. The card is not a replacement for formal purchase orders or contracts but offers a complimentary solution to enable officers to secure best value and emergency provision when its required and ensures our suppliers are paid promptly.

The GPC is not a traditional credit card and the Council, as a business, does not accrue any incentive or loyalty points from retailers or the provider when using it.
