Closed
Publisher: 
HM Treasury
Outcome: 
Not a data request or a data issue
Notes: 

We do not have plans to merge all departments Government Procurement Card (GPC) datasets into 1.

Data request description: 
Government department credit card spend as single dataset. Currently each dept posts it in a different format. Some are up to date, some not. Formats even vary in one dept. For openness this data should be collated into a single consistent dataset where one column indicates the dept.
Reason: 
A version of the data is published but I need it in a different version

Suggested use: 
Research
Provide analysis and visualisation of spending patterns and comparisons between departments.
Benefits overview: 
Anybody wanting to research spending across departments would have this problem. Dividing the data into many small files and formats just obscures the information.
