Any other information about payment terms
The payment performance reporting has been prepared on a consistent basis with previous submissions in that they are reporting the time taken between the date of receipt of the initial invoice and the date on which the approved invoice payment has been received by the supplier/subcontractor. To be clear, the data that is being reported includes invoices that have been received BUT were INCORRECT due to supplier errors on pricing or quantities delivered, or where the quality of the goods or services provided were below the specification agreed between ourselves and the supplier, or did not have an appropriately signed proof of delivery, and have been paid, following dispute resolution, in the reporting period are included within the payment performance statistics. Therefore, to be clear, the statistics reported do not report the timescales taken between the date of invoice approval and date on which the payment of the approved invoice has been received by the supplier/subcontractor. Obviously, these timeframes would be in accordance with our contracted terms of trade with each supplier. Having made enquiries of BEIS regarding the data that is required to be reported on we believe this is being reviewed and await further guidance.
Dispute resolution process
Disputes are dealt with by the relevant regional finance department.
