Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

We have standard payment terms of 30 days, but the procurement organisation allows for shorter payment terms for smaller suppliers during the contract negotiation process. Sub-contractors are typically paid within 28 days. We operate a weekly payment run with invoices due falling into the next payment run. If this was adjusted in the metrics, the proportion of late payment would be more inline with other British Gas and Centrica Group entities.

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

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

To prevent a delay in invoice processing, invoices must be clearly legible, comply with HMRC regulations and should include supplier details, purchase order number invoice number, invoice date and payment instructions, as well as the Centrica point of contact who requested the goods or services. Invoices should be issued electronically to PHJonesAP@boxit.co.uk Invoices issued without the above details may not be accepted and may be returned for amendment before being processed.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

60

Dispute Resolution Process

Any disputes the suppliers should contact their specific contact at PH Jones Accounts Payable - aphelpdesk@centrica.com. The Accounts Payable team will consider the complaint and respond accordingly.

Other Payment Information
