<p>Local authorities are responsible for their contracts and the Government does not
record or hold data on contracts awarded by local authorities. However, the Local
Government Transparency Code 2015 requires local authorities to publish details of
any contract, commissioned activity, purchase order, framework agreement and any other
legally enforceable agreement with a value that exceeds £5,000.</p><p>The Code also
recommends that local authorities publish details of every invitation to tender for
contracts to provide goods and/or services with a value that exceeds £500 instead
of £5,000.</p>
