Dispute resolution process

The Trust requires that all expenditure, unless subject to specific arrangements, as determined by the Director of Finance, has a valid requisition, and purchase order (PO). The Trust operates a no purchase order, no pay policy therefore invoices received without a valid PO will be returned to the supplier, except as detailed.
