Standard payment terms
Our standard contractual payment terms are 60 days from the end of the month of receipt of invoice. (therefore 75 days average)
In practice, our IT payment system is uses invoice date rather than the receipt date, therefore paying earlier than contractually obliged in most cases.
Invoices are not released for payment until fully authorised and matched to an approved purchase order. Payments can be delayed while invoice discrepancies are investigated and resolved.
By exception we also pay some suppliers earlier, particularly where the supplier takes payment by Direct Debit. Our standard payment terms are not formally amended in these instances.

Dispute resolution process
All invoices must be matched to an approved purchase order. If there is a variance between the invoice and the purchase order the invoice will be held until the difference is resolved. The originator of the purchase order will contact the supplier directly, by phone or email, to begin discussions to resolve the difference.
