Spending by the council's own service areas
Who is paid for grounds, street cleaning, roads and bins?
The suppliers paid most for each kind of work, where the council's own labels say what the payment was for (our matching). A council that does the work with its own staff pays mostly wages, which are not in this data, so a short list here can mean the work is done in-house.
Consultancy and agency against the pay bill
Payments we classify as consultancy and agency staff came to 10.9% of Camden's own staff costs in its 2025-26 revenue return, against a median of 14.0% for the other London boroughs read so far. The payments and the staff costs come from different sources and periods, so this is a guide to scale.
Search every payment
Searching needs JavaScript. Every payment is in one JSON file.
Every payment, as the council published it, is in one JSON file; the search can download any selection as CSV.
What this data does and doesn't show
- It is the council's own record of payments of £500 or more. It leaves out salaries, most staff costs and many internal costs, so it is not the council's whole spending.
- Descriptions are the council's own and vary in quality; some are codes, some are blank, and some supplier names are withheld to protect individuals.
- A large payment to one supplier is often a routine instalment on a long contract that was tendered openly.
- The categories and the matching to services are this site's classification from keywords, not the council's. The rules are on the methodology page.
