If you are interested in providing services or supplies to the council, information is available on Contracts and tenders.

As part of the Local Government Transparency Code, we are required to publish details of all transactions made on a Government Procurement Card. Please note that North East Lincolnshire Council do not and have never used Government Procurement Cards.

Published spending data

As part of our commitment to openness and transparency we publish monthly details of the payments we made to external bodies and suppliers, and all credit notes.

To ensure the privacy of individuals and confidentiality some payments made by the council may not be listed or only provided in part.

In the Local Spending Data we publish there may be multiple lines for each transaction number, this is because the value of an invoice may be allocated to a number of different cost centres and account codes.
