Which departments publish usable data?
A department counts as publishing usable data when its files for the latest year can be found on GOV.UK and read automatically into one format. The year is the 12 months up to each department's newest file, so the months differ between departments. Totals are not comparable between departments (see below).

Crown Prosecution Service
Crown Prosecution Service: no file of spending over £25,000 found. No Crown Prosecution Service file of spending over £25,000 was found on GOV.UK; the CPS publishes its transparency data on its own website, which this site does not yet read.
Where it would be published: www.cps.gov.uk/publication-scheme. Checked 2026-09-24.
What these figures do and don't show
- It is each department's own record of payments of £25,000 or more, as published on GOV.UK. It leaves out salaries and most staff costs, and each department decides which of its agencies and arm's-length bodies its files cover.
- Totals are not comparable between departments: some pay most of their money as grants to other public bodies (DfE to academy trusts, DHSC to NHS England, MHCLG to councils), which appear here as single large payments, while others buy mostly from suppliers.
- Some departments list individual lines of a payment, so rows under £25,000 appear; they are kept as published. Credits and refunds are included, so totals are net.
- Payments that would harm national security or identify individuals are withheld by the department; where a supplier name is withheld it says so.
- Descriptions are the department's own and vary in quality. The categories are this site's keyword classification, the same rules as the council £500 data, not the department's.
- Amounts are cash as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Departments cover the UK, Great Britain or England depending on the function; nothing here is split by nation.
Common questions
- Do government departments have to publish spending over £25,000?
- Yes. Since 2010 central government departments have been expected to publish every payment of £25,000 or more each month, under Cabinet Office transparency guidance. In practice some publish late, some have stopped, and payments that would harm national security or identify individuals are withheld.
