Dispute Resolution Process

Our dispute resolution process is clearly explained on our website and is as follows: In the first instance, all disputes will be raised and managed by the site teams. The supplier will be advised that there is a query relating to the goods and/or services supplied and it will be the initial responsibility of the site team to come to a resolution with the supplier. The following steps will be taken to raise and resolve a dispute: 1. The nature of the dispute is discussed between the site team and the supplier. 2. The site team and supplier will come to an agreed time frame for resolution. 3. The supplier is responsible for providing feedback to their accounts team relating to the nature of the dispute and the resolution date. 4. The respective site team will provide feedback to the VolkerWessels UK Accounts Payable team as to the nature and the resolution date of the dispute. 5. Within the agreed resolution timeframe; the VolkerWessels UK Accounts Payable team will await instructions from the site team as to whether or not the dispute has been resolved ahead of schedule and whether or not funds can be released to the supplier. 6. In instances where the stated resolution timeframe has elapsed, the VolkerWessels UK Accounts Payable team will escalate the matter to the appropriate management level to ensure a new resolution date or the release of funds to the supplier.
