Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

As a Special Purpose Company (SPC) with a Concession agreement in place with its only customer (Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospital NHS Trust) and several related subcontracts in place, the SPC can only pay its subcontractors when the Trust pays the SPC. This is accepted between all parties and whilst the pay-when-paid principle is not now permitted, the SPC continues to apply this practice under the exclusion granted to PFI projects by the Construction Contracts (England) Exclusion Order 2011. All other costs, those that relate to the SPC's own costs, are generally paid within 30 days.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Any dispute relating to overheads of the SPC will be dealt with by the allocated accountant to the SPC. Disputes relating to any of the operating costs will generally be negotiated between the accountant, the PFI team from Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospital NHS Trust and the related subcontractor raising the costs.
