Dispute resolution process
Invoices can be placed in dispute for various reasons and this is recorded in our accounting system. Suppliers initially raise a query with the Accounts Payable team who will either deal with it themselves or pass it to the business stakeholders to be resolved. Subcontractors generally liaise with the Commercial or Operations teams to resolve any disputes. If the dispute cannot be resolved our Procurement team will assist in any resolution. Ultimately the dispute may be passed to our Legal team or CFO to resolve.
