The majority of Portman's suppliers are on Portman's standard terms where conditions of purchase are set to 30 days payment terms. This is stipulated in the market tenders inviting commercial proposals, although some suppliers provide longer payment terms as part of the formal negotiation to provide a more attractive commercial model. Any payment terms less than 30 days agreed in advance with the relevant senior management.

The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to both party's satisfaction prior to payment being made. In the first instance, invoice queries are managed by the Accounts Payable Team. Senior Managers from both the Finance and Operations Team review follow up activities on outstanding queries each month. An escalation process is in place whereby items not satisfactorily resolved in the first instance are escalated to the Finance Director (UK & IRE) and ultimately to the UK & IRE CFO.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
