Any other information about payment terms

We have different payments terms for our self-billing suppliers and these self-billed invoices are paid within those agreed terms. Payment runs are processed on a weekly basis. Invoices are typically paid on the payment run on or earlier than the agreed due date. Payments are generally made by BACs and suppliers receive value two days later. The above policies have been in place for many years and there have been no changes in policy during the reporting period.

Dispute resolution process

If a supplier has any disputes or concerns regarding any aspect of our payment process, their first contact would our Purchase Ledger Team through the main switchboard or via e-mail direct to DXpurchaseledger@thedx.co.uk The aim of any conversation is always to resolve any issue in a timely and collaborative manner, in order to maintain a good working relationship. If those involved are unable to find a solution, then the issue would be escalated within the Procurement Team or senior management for resolution.
