Dispute Resolution Process

The business has very few disputes relating to payment and will only refuse to pay an invoice where issues have arisen with the supplier’s performance and there is legitimate legal and contractual basis to withhold payment. Any dispute raised by a supplier would be dealt with by our supply chain management and finance functions in the first instance, who would seek to resolve any discrepancy with the invoice. Where necessary, such as where there is a substantive dispute over the validity of the invoice, such dispute would be referred to our Procurement and/or Legal teams for resolution.
