This is a register of recent gifts and hospitality that have been received by Ofcom's Board, Content Board, senior management and leadership team.

We do not keep a record of the gifts or hospitality that employees have been offered but turned down. Any gift received that is greater than £10 in value is not kept by colleagues and is entered into a charity raffle.

More information is available in our gifts and hospitality policy (PDF, 128.6 KB).

It is our policy only to keep gifts and hospitality information on our website for one year. Older information is available through the National Archives.

Under the Government's Prompt Payment Policy, it is a requirement for public sector bodies to publish annual payment performance data.

This shows Ofcom’s percentage of undisputed invoices paid within 5 days and within 30 days of receipt and the amount of interest Ofcom was liable to pay.

We endeavour to pay all correctly rendered invoices as quickly as possible.

Any queries or complaints regarding the payment of invoices should be made to the accounts payable team, email payables@ofcom.org.uk

Please ensure you quote your unique purchase order number on the invoice to avoid payment delay.

This data is published annually.
