Longer payment terms are usually only agreed with suppliers of high value items such as capital equipment.

Any other information about payment terms

The statistics show a high proportion of invoices not paid within the agreed terms. This is a function of our bi-monthly (twice a month) payment runs and the majority of invoices are paid within a few days of their due date.

Dispute resolution process

Suppliers are asked to contact the Accounts Payable team with any queries. Queries that cannot be resolved by the team are forwarded to the Purchasing Department for further investigation and resolution. An escalation process exists where any unresolved issues are elevated to department Managers/Senior Management.
