Simple terms explainer:
Councils must keep a public list of certain contracts they award. This list, called a contracts register, shows key details such as when the contract was awarded, who won it, how much it’s worth, and how long it will last. The purpose is to make council spending open and transparent so anyone can see who is doing work for the council and on what terms.
