Standard payment terms
For purchase ledger suppliers, the payment terms adopted by the CALA Group are for invoices to be settled on the next payment run following the credit terms requested by the respective supplier. These terms range from immediate payment (which defaults to next payment run), to payment falling due at the end of the month following the invoice date. For subcontractors, the standard terms require work performed in month 1, to be valued and agreed in month 2, and the paid on the 1st working day of the following month (month 3).

Dispute resolution process
At CALA, we strive to resolve queries and disputes on a timely basis. In respect of subcontractors, our dispute resolution process involves a collaborative review of progress on site between CALA surveyor and subcontractor, inclusive of CALA quality check, with reference to the application made. In the majority of circumstances, our commercial staff will resolve a dispute directly with the subcontractor. In respect of suppliers, goods received are inspected and receipted on site with any issues arising communicated to the supplier via telephone or email.
In the rare event that a dispute cannot be resolved by commercial staff the matter will be referred to our in-house legal counsel.
The figures reported have not been amended to remove invoices which were under query or in dispute.
