How this is built

Method

Tagging rules only. If a factual claim cannot be evidenced, it does not belong in this record. Disagreement with an interpretation does not change the underlying file.

Last checked

Copy a national ask: FOI pack. Working files: Data.

Gold pack as at 24 August 2026 (inventory)

Waves A–E public papers loaded into this record: 695 figures, 295 money lines, 104 institutions, 32 council places, 85 FOI items, 156 sources. FOI items here are the inventory — not the live FOI face counts. Owned companies and the national body register: Owned · Data. Envelope is not outturn. Awards are not payments. Missing years stay blank. Pots are never summed. Home Office asylum cash is not mixed into this record.

FOI

Working national pack on /foi: Closed 6 · Responded 0 · Not sent 7 · Do not send 2. Not sent is not sent. The inventory pack above is not these face counts.

Four confidence tags

Published — named in an official file. Calculated — arithmetic on published numbers. Estimate — a published unit cost times a published count, always labelled. Missing — we do not have it; it is not zero.

Do not mix pots

Home Office AASC beds are not Scottish Government integration money. Do not mix reserved UK, devolved, Lottery or NHS into one Scotland total. Asylum industrial detail is not this record.

Envelope is not outturn

A budget or contract envelope is a ceiling, not cash paid. AASC cash is not mixed into the Scottish Budget. MoD and DWP Scotland lines on this site are not added to the Scottish Budget.

Awards are not payments

A Lottery award or a grant offer is not the same as money drawn. One contract, one card: value, buyer, supplier, term, then users, cost per head, staff split, subcontractors, KPIs.

One contract, one card

Value, buyer, supplier, term, procurement route, tender count, price weighting, scope beyond the title, then the same questions: users, cost per head, staff split, subcontractors, KPIs.

Sister site

Local wards, crime, CiLIF and street action live on My street. This site is the national Government record.

Public papers only

We read what is published: statistics, spend files, accounts, contracts and already-released FOIs. We do not keep your file. We are not affiliated with the Scottish Government or the Home Office.

Layers

  1. National — population, Scottish Budget, reserved UK lines in Scotland, NHS, NDPBs, Lottery.
  2. Thirty-two council bodies — accounts and AAR headlines. Ward action on My street.
  3. Institutions — SG, NHS boards, SPA, NDPBs, contractors with a public contract.
  4. People in office — trustees and directors from OSCR and Companies House only.
