5. How much of the total spend with Amazon and its major subsidiaries (detailed above) is for the purchase of vouchers for gifting/award or other purposes?
We are unable to answer this as we don’t hold this information centrally, it would exceed the appropriate limit of 18 hours to collate this information (section 12) and therefore we are refusing this request. We have been advised by our Finance department that they do not centrally hold this information and require contacting every department within the council.
