Information Request – Spend Data
Your Request
‘Thank you for providing access to your entity's expenditure information, found on your website - Public service reform reporting.
However, I am currently unable to locate information relating to the previous and current financial year. Therefore, I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all of your entity's transactions over £25,000 for April 2024 onwards.
Please provide the data in a machine-readable format (preferably CSV). As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value, and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it.’
Our Response
Our annual accounts for the 2024/2025 period are still being worked on and are not yet available.
They are due to be published in mid-November 2025. We are therefore applying EIR exemption Regulation 10(4)(d) - Material in the course of completion, unfinished documents, and incomplete data (Environmental Information Regulations) to your request.
When published, the accounts will be available from NatureScot’s website at the link you provided in your request above.
