The statistical information provided includes payments to both purchase ledger and sub-contract suppliers with the received date of supplier invoices being the date a valid e-invoice was received via our e-invoice portal.
Balfour Beatty Group Limited is committed to fair dealing with all of its supply chain members and transparency and swift resolution of disputed items are key principles in this process: • Disputed invoices will be identified by internal business stakeholders initially and these will be raised directly with the relevant supplier. • Suppliers are also able to query invoices with our Central Accounts Payable team in which case they are passed to the relevant business stakeholders for resolution. • If a resolution cannot be reached between business stakeholder and the supplier, as a point of escalation the disputed invoices should then be raised with the local Procurement contact by the business stakeholder, containing details of the invoice in question and the nature of the dispute. • Disputes will be assessed internally between the stakeholder and the local Procurement contact to judge accuracy and value • If the disputed invoice is deemed appropriate, the Procurement contact will liaise with the account management (or other appropriate contact) within the supplier organisation to review and resolve. • If a resolution cannot be reached between the Procurement contact and the supplier organisation, appropriate escalations within the respective organisations will be made. • Where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods ( for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and /or arbitration) may be used
