Dispute resolution process
SRM are absolutely committed to fair dealing and fair payment with our supply chain. We also firmly believe that the emphasis of our business dealings are based on genuine, close relationships with our Supply Chain.
These relationships, managed more & more in a structured way, ensure we very rarely have the need for formal dispute resolution processes.
Where issues and challenges arise, resolution is hopefully addressed either at the project or purchase ledger, dependent upon the nature of the agreement, (sub-contract or purchase order).
Where resolution cannot be found at this level, there is an escalation process within the business through procurement, finance & / or commercial management to ensure issues and challenges are satisfactorily addressed for both parties. This escalation process goes all the way to Group Commercial Director at Executive Board level. We really do not expect anything to go beyond this level.
Should formal dispute resolution be required, which is extremely unlikely, methods including mediation, adjudication litigation and / or arbitration may be used.
