I am trying to understand the number of suppliers the NHS purchases from so please can you send me a list of all suppliers you purchase goods or services from and the annual value you bought from them in your last financial year. Many thanks
Please note this information is not commercially sensitive as all you will be giving me is the total money spent with each supplier not any detail of what you bought. Many thanks
