This month the overall supplier payments were £35.5 million. Aside from the usual suspects such as TFL, Barnet Group and Barnet Lighting there were a few payments which deserve a little more examination
Capita billed £675,137.58 the majority of which related to the CSG contract. Discovering specifically what it is for shall have to wait until the inspection of accounts next year and even then I don't hold out much hope of getting any real detail on the figures.
Councillor Shooter asked at a council meeting back in July about agency staff cost with the response that the costs are falling. This month the bill from Comensura, the council's agency and interim staff provider was £1,268, 836.97, down slightly on June but still higher than May. Given the council has spent many millions on redundancy costs it seems ridiculous to be spending an average of £1.3 million per month temporary staff. A few others were as follows:
Paul Winter & Co billed £112,469 for what I suspect is legal advice on Brent Cross
NSL billed £561,943.35 which looks like two payments instead of one.
Hags Play Ltd billed £387,858.28 they are suppliers of playground equipment
Facultatieve Technologies Ltd who have been installing new Cremators at Hendon billed £185,288.
Apologies to readers for my prolonged absence from blogging but I will pull my finger out and get back into the swing of things now the summer holidays are over.
