- Payees probably public bodies, awaiting review£446mmeasured
A proposed match names a public body for these payees, so this money was most likely passed on to another part of government, not spent here. Until a person reviews the match it is not counted as followed or as passed on.
- Below the publication threshold
Payments under £25,000 (central government and the NHS) or £500 (councils) are not published one by one. Some publishers list every payment anyway; most do not.
- Pay: followed to staff as one total£810mmeasured
Wages are never published person by person, and must not be. The staff costs of the 13 bodies in this section, from HM Treasury's OSCAR database (2025-26, provisional outturn), are counted as followed to their staff.
Where the records come from
Each publisher's 2025-26 payment records, and where their money went. "Identified" means matched to a registered company, charity or other organisation outside government; "named only", a payee named in the record but not yet matched; "passed on", paid to another public body.
