Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The majority of our suppliers are long term relationships with established payment terms either as dictated by the supplier or negotiated by both parties. For new suppliers, Gradus engage with the supplier to agree on the payment terms. In default of agreement otherwise, the standard terms used by Gradus are 30 days end of month. The maximum payment terms agreed with a supplier during the period were 90 days end of month. Changes in payment terms are usually requested only in the case of a new relationship where initial dealings have been on a pro forma basis and we are looking to agree standard payment terms. Changes are only made on an agreed basis.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

• A dispute relating to a supplier invoice will be notified to the finance department by the member of staff managing the supplier relationship • A note is made on the system that the invoice is in query and is not to be paid until resolved • The supplier will be made aware of the nature of the dispute (by the appropriate purchasing contact) and the actions required to resolve • We aim to resolve disputes as quickly as possible through dialogue with the supplier • Once dispute is resolved the invoice is passed for payment and is either placed on the next available payment run or is paid via a one-off BACS transfer if required sooner such that the contractual payment terms are still met
