Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Our standard terms are payment by the end of the month following invoice. Exceptions are direct debits collected by major suppliers, where their terms are accepted. However, where possible we will endeavour to pay suppliers within 30 days of invoice.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

The school has robust cash-flow and positive bank balances and we endeavour to make payments promptly. However, as we are a school, many of the budget holders who would authorise payment of particular invoices are unavailable outside of term time and this may cause delays with educational invoices during the school holiday weeks.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

61

Dispute Resolution Process

Concerns from suppliers regarding overdue invoices are raised to the Purchase Ledger Administrator or to the relevant department budget holder for investigation. Copy invoices are requested from the supplier and authorisation for payment is obtained from the budget holder. Disputed invoices are managed to resolution by the relevant department and, once resolved, are paid as part of the next BACS processing run.

Other Payment Information

Has this business signed up to a code of conduct or standards on payment practices?

For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.

Does this business offer e-invoicing in relation to qualifying contracts?

This is where suppliers can electronically submit and track invoices. It's not just allowing suppliers to email them an invoice.

Does this business offer supply chain finance?

This is where a supplier who has submitted an invoice can be paid by a third-party finance provider earlier than the agreed payment date. The business would then pay the finance provider the invoiced sum.

Under its payment practices and policies, can this business deduct sums from payments under qualifying contracts as a charge for remaining on a supplier list?
