Figures are cash-basis aggregate payments per supplier, as disclosed under BC's Financial Information Regulation (Schedule 1, s.7). They include utilities, insurance, and payments to other governments — not only procurement contracts — and may not match the financial statements, which are prepared on an accrual basis.
