Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are to pay suppliers within 45 days from the end of the month in which we receive the relevant valid invoice from the supplier. We will always try to trade on these terms with all suppliers, except where there are material circumstances which may alter this standard approach.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute Resolution Process
Bupa seeks an amicable resolution of any supplier invoice disputes or escalations (or any other disputes). Invoices should be sent to APinvoices@bupa.com with a valid purchase order (where applicable). Bupa’s standard terms and conditions can be found here (https://procurement.bupa.com/web/pdfs/uk_standard_terms__conditions_of_purchase.pdf) which contain full details. If the supplier has a dispute they wish to raise they should notify Bupa in writing setting out full details of the issue in dispute formally (and to contractnotices@bupa.com). The dispute will be assessed by Bupa’s Finance and Procurement management teams. Bupa will seek to resolve dispute within 15 business days. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 15 business days (despite endeavouring to promptly resolve) they are free to initiate further proceedings (whether Alternative Dispute Resolution or court proceedings)
