Dispute resolution process

Bupa seeks an amicable resolution of any supplier invoice disputes or escalations (or any other disputes). Invoices should be sent to invoice.queries@bupadentalcare.co.uk with a valid purchase order (where applicable). Bupa’s standard terms and conditions can be found here (https://procurement.bupa.com/web/pdfs/uk_standard_terms__conditions_of_purchase.pdf) which contain full details. If the supplier has a dispute they wish to raise they should notify Bupa in writing setting out full details of the issue in dispute formally (and to contractnotices@bupa.com). The dispute will be assessed by Bupa’s Finance and Procurement management teams. Bupa will seek to resolve dispute within 15 business days.
