Dispute resolution process

Invoices can be placed in dispute for various reasons and this is recorded in our accounting system. Suppliers would initially raise a query with our accounts payable team and this would be dealt with or passed to a business stakeholder to be resolved. Subcontractors would generally liaise with the commercial or operational teams to resolve any disputes. If the dispute cannot be resolved our procurement team will assist in any resolution. Ultimately the dispute may be passed to our legal team or CFO to resolve.
