Standard payment terms
Suppliers must submit their invoices quoting a valid purchase order to ensure the invoice can be processed and made available for payment. Invoices must not be submitted prior to the goods/service being delivered. Equans’ standard payment terms are 60 days, depending on the size of the supplier. Where they have been identified as a company employing 50 employees or less, or operating as part of a public sector contract, they are allocated 30-day payment terms.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

All disputes are managed via our Procure to Pay system with suppliers being notified of a dispute, via e-mail, as soon as the invoice is processed. We aim to resolve all disputes within 10 working days to ensure our supplier can be paid within agreed terms. This is, however, dependent, in part, on timely responses from the supplier to rectify any issues.
