Email signatures and communications team spend

Received: 4 February 2025

For each calendar year from 2020 -2024 I would like to know:1. How much have Council Communication Team(s) spent on using external companies (including designers) specifically for email signatures. This includes work they have done themselves and work they have been asked to do on behalf of others within the council . This should be a matter of completing an extract from the finance system and seeing what is for email signature and what is not.2. How much have communications teams within the council spent on using external companies (including designers ) specifically for comms purposes (for example, banners, email signatures, website designs, logos etc). This should be a matter of completing an extract from the finance system of total expenditure to external designers/companies.3. The number of staff and total salary of employees across the council with the word 'comms' or 'communications' or similar derivations of the word "communications" as part of their job title. This should be a matter of completing an extract from the HR system and doing a search for the terms I have asked for.Clarification:Regarding your question below, can you please provide both.Do you seek information on payments for jobs that only involve email signatures or are you asking for information on jobs that include email signatures as part of wider design work.
