Any other information about payment terms

All of the submitted figures do not take into account invoices that been put in query. Also, whilst the invoices may state a certain payment period, we have agreements in writing with a number of suppliers that allow us to vary from these. We have reached out to suppliers to amend this.

All the figures submitted have been calculated from the invoice date rather than agreed payment period.

Dispute resolution process

We aim to resolve queries where possible within payment periods where possible. This is done by the finance team alongside the budget holder
