During 2021 we have, in conjunction with our supply chain, changed from receiving invoices through the post to receiving the vast majority electronically. This has had the effect of appearing as if our payment days have increased when in fact there has been no change. This change in process has actually resulted in fewer missing invoices and enabled us to respond to queries quicker.
Every effort is made to avoid disputes. In the unlikely event of a subcontractor dispute, which is not resolved using the process below, the adjudication option is included within the subcontractor order. Suppliers/ Subcontractors are informed of any disputes directly by the project team or commercial team. Every effort is taken to resolve these disputes quickly. In the unlikely event of no resolution by the people directly involved then it will be escalated to the line manager up to Director level.
