# BAY MEDIA LTD: council payments Canonical: https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-supplier/bay-media-ltd 3 published councils paid BAY MEDIA LTD £31,873 across 13 payments dated 30 December 2024 to 12 May 2026, as the councils publish them in their spending files. The largest payer was Liverpool City Council (£13,760). Notes: - Payments as each council publishes them under the Local Government Transparency Code 2015, mapped onto one schema. Amounts, dates and names are not adjusted: councils differ in threshold (over £500, over £250 or all spend), in whether amounts include VAT, and in which date they publish (payment, posting or certification). Redacted payees, usually individuals, are returned as redacted and never named. See GET /v1/uk-council-spending/coverage for the councils, files and months loaded. - Suppliers are grouped by a normalised form of the published name (upper case, punctuation removed, LIMITED as LTD, ...). Grouping is not identity: different organisations can share a name, and one organisation can appear under several. A supplier is linked to a company only through a Companies House number a council file publishes. ## Totals by council Each council's payments to this supplier name, from the spending files in that council's catalogue. | Council | Payments | Total | First payment | Last payment | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Liverpool City Council](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E08000012) | 10 | £13,760.00 | 30 December 2024 | 2 June 2025 | [Data Mill North catalogue](https://datamillnorth.org/api/action/package_show?id=2w6d8) | | [London Borough of Barnet](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E09000003) | 2 | £10,580.00 | 18 December 2025 | 12 May 2026 | [Barnet open data catalogue](https://open.barnet.gov.uk/api/action/package_show?id=2ywz8) | | [Leeds City Council](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E08000035) | 1 | £7,533.00 | 18 December 2025 | 18 December 2025 | [Data Mill North catalogue](https://datamillnorth.org/api/action/package_show?id=2gpp0) | ## Totals by month Payments from every council above, by the month of the date each council publishes. | Month | Payments | Total | | --- | --- | --- | | December 2024 | 1 | £1,505.00 | | January 2025 | 1 | £3,010.00 | | March 2025 | 3 | £1,505.00 | | April 2025 | 1 | £3,010.00 | | May 2025 | 2 | £2,365.00 | | June 2025 | 2 | £2,365.00 | | December 2025 | 2 | £14,613.00 | | May 2026 | 1 | £3,500.00 | - Amounts as published: no VAT adjustment and no reconciliation to accounts.
