Dispute resolution process
For fleet suppliers, any queries must be emailed to fleet.uk@abg.com. If necessary, subsequent escalation can be made to the fleet team lead or fleet service delivery manager.
For other suppliers, any queries must be emailed to Supplierhelpdesk.uk@abg.com.
If necessary, subsequent escalation can be made by contacting the Procurement Manager or appropriate stakeholder – the Procurement Manager can then escalate within the team at the shared service centre and ask for specific actions to be taken whilst then communicating with the supplier.
Validation is sought from invoice approvers in terms of disputed invoices. Set off may be allowed if a settlement has to be made subject to payment terms and contractual agreement position.
