# Mark Thompson Productions Ltd: council payments Canonical: https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-supplier/mark-thompson-productions-ltd 3 published councils paid Mark Thompson Productions Ltd £45,179 across 7 payments dated 1 August 2025 to 20 August 2026, as the councils publish them in their spending files. The largest payer was Leicester City Council (£25,618). 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 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Leicester City Council](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E06000016) | 2 | £25,618.06 | 1 August 2025 | 28 October 2025 | [data.gov.uk catalogue](https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/api/action/package_show?id=expenditure-exceeding-500-2026) | | [Calderdale Council](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E08000033) | 3 | £12,353.99 | 19 February 2026 | 20 August 2026 | [Calderdale Data Works catalogue](https://dataworks.calderdale.gov.uk/api/action/package_show?id=2wqx8) | | [Rushmoor Borough Council](https://olympus.new-odyssey.com/data/uk-council/E07000092) | 2 | £7,207.25 | 26 February 2026 | 16 April 2026 | [data.gov.uk catalogue, 21 October 2026](https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/api/action/package_show?id=rushmoor-250-spend) | ## Totals by month Payments from every council above, by the month of the date each council publishes. | Month | Payments | Total | | --- | --- | --- | | August 2025 | 1 | £11,695.99 | | October 2025 | 1 | £13,922.07 | | February 2026 | 2 | £16,141.10 | | April 2026 | 1 | £2,511.60 | | August 2026 | 2 | £908.54 | - Amounts as published: no VAT adjustment and no reconciliation to accounts.
