Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days end of month. Payment terms with specific suppliers may vary from immediate payment up to net 75, dependant on the underlying good or service. The Company makes payments on a weekly basis. As a result, payments may be received by the supplier shortly after the due date. In order for payments to be made in line with payment terms, invoices must include the purchase order number, and all other required documents must also be provided. Standard payment terms as reported here are impacted by payment terms to companies within the BCA Group.

Dispute resolution process
Disputes should be raised in the first instance with the Accounts Payable (AP) team by telephone or e-mail. Queries will be considered and resolved by the AP team in the first instance, through discussion and agreement with the supplier. Should this team be unable to resolve a dispute, they would refer to the supplier’s applicable contract, which will inform the procedure to be followed to resolve a dispute. Although the Company aims to resolve queries with suppliers in a timely manner, the actual timescale for resolution will vary depending on the underlying query.
