Dispute resolution process

Suppliers - We have an accounts team who process and query invoices in a timely manner. On occasions, disputes may be escalated to senior management.
Sub-contractors - Again, our accounts team deal with the daily processing and queries, but it is the responsibility of the contract quantity surveyor to issue payment notices and payless notices to each sub-contractor. If they are unable to resolve a dispute, the sub-contract adjudication process is followed.
