Official Social Security Scotland ADP statistics. Caseload is people in receipt on 31 January 2026 (new applicants + DWP case transfers). Figures are rounded for disclosure control and may not sum. Council-level only — do not invent a ward split. Residual DWP PIP on some ward pages is a separate, much smaller stock. Caseload is not the payments table (that table runs to 31 October 2025).

Payments column as at 31 October 2025. Do not add it to the caseload.

Who the council paid and received from

Note 22. IJB lines are the council note — not IJB CIES.

Printed related-party note. Expenditure and income are two faces — do not add or net them. IJB lines are the council’s note, not the IJB CIES. City totals, not a ward split.

Procurement · awards are not cash

2024/25 regulated awards · £23.802m

26 regulated awards. Core-trade and local £ are spend lines — not the award column. Do not add them. City total, not a ward pot.

Official Annual Procurement Report. Award £ is estimated contract value (often multi-year, including frameworks). Core-trade is suppliers paid over the report’s threshold — not an invoice file. Local % is spend, not awards. Do not add the columns. Blank invoice count is not a zero. Awards ≠ cash. Table 1: 26 regulated procurements £23.802m. Table 2 all-awarded category total £33.369m is a different set — do not add. Table 8 prints 104 regulated contracts / 80 unique suppliers — not the Table 1 count of 26. Third-party spend £256.167m includes AHSCP (p.3, Table 9) — not CIES net cost £382.285m. Local 68% is spend, not awards. SME spend (status known) £101.264m; local SMEs £64.308m. Invoices 43,160 of which 948 paid late (2.2%). Two non-compliant regulated (direct awards, committee-approved). School transport £7.813m and SDS 3 £2.132m in Appendix A are framework ceilings printed on many rows — do not sum. IJB/AHSCP has no own contracts; spend sits in this report.

Partnership £ · not council Social Work

Integration Joint Board — signed face

Lines as printed. Adult Social Work on the council CIES is a different face. Do not add these rows.

Printed IJB or partnership note. Adult Social Work / Health & Social Care on the council CIES is not IJB spend. Do not add these lines. City totals, not a ward split.

Audit opinion · IAR is not the AAR

IAR 2024/25: true and fair

Standalone AAR 2025/26: NOT PRINTED. Two papers. Do not collapse the words.

IAR is the opinion inside the signed accounts. AAR is Audit Scotland’s annual audit report — a different paper. Do not copy AAR wording onto the IAR row. Unmodified is not unqualified is not true and fair. NOT PRINTED is not a zero and not a clean bill.

Council family · as printed

6 named entities

Group note. Opinion words stay NOT PRINTED unless the desk extracted a standalone IAR.

Named only as printed in the group / family note. Standalone IAR words stay NOT PRINTED unless the desk extracted them. Common Good is burghs, not electoral wards. IJB here is the family line — not IJB CIES spend.

Dear Angus Council FOI team,

Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 I request:

1. For the most recent complete financial year and the current year to date, for each external supplier: legal name, total gross amount paid, number of payment transactions, and service/directorate if held.
2. Format: CSV.
3. Exclude personal data of individuals (redact sole traders' names if required) but do not withhold company names.

I accept supplier-level totals if individual invoice lines are withheld under section 33. Please confirm any exemption and the public-interest test.

Please also provide URLs for: the latest audited annual accounts, the latest Annual Audit Report, the current revenue estimates (service nets), and the latest Annual Procurement Report.

Yours faithfully
