Request Summary: Budget Expenditure Authorisation Levels
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: Please could you provide a copy of your Trust’s current delegated levels of authorisation for budgeted revenue and capital expenditure? Specifically, I am seeking details of the authorisation limits by staff grade/role (e.g., Budget Holder, Ward Manager, Executive Director) and the required procurement process (e.g., informal quotation, formal quotation, tender) at each threshold. For clarity, I am referring to a structure similar to the one shown in the attached example (provided from another NHS Trust), which outlines expenditure thresholds and the corresponding required approval and procurement method. If available, please also include: 1. Any policy documents, flowcharts, or tables that detail these authorisation levels. 2. The procedures for obtaining quotations and tenders at various expenditure thresholds. 3. Any capital expenditure limits or variation thresholds that apply within your organisation. | |
