Dispute resolution process

Where we have a dispute in respect of an invoice, we will notify the supplier in writing prior to the invoice payment due date

The responsibility for this resides with the Relationship Manager who has procured the service. Support is provided by the Accounts payable team whose contact details are readily available to all suppliers.

In such circumstances we are entitled to withhold payment until such time as the dispute is resolved.

Where disputes are more significant, we will resolve these in accordance with the process detailed in the individual supplier contracts.
