GENERAL

Invoiced totals are aggregated from £500+ payment-transparency CSVs across the councils we've ingested — under-£500 invoices are not published by law and are excluded. Framework-routed payments (ESPO, Matrix SCM neutral-vendor, CCS RM6160) appear as payments to the framework body, not to the underlying agency or candidate; per-council shares reflect the framework, not who the worker actually sat for. Contracts shown come from Contracts Finder where a match was found; many invoice-only suppliers have no central-register record.
