Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

CVS endeavours to process all payments to the suppliers of all CVS Group companies by their due date whilst at the same time making use of twice weekly payment runs to consolidate payments into batches of an efficient size. As a result of these scheduled payment runs, invoices are usually included for payment within days of becoming due.All invoices received by CVS are processed by the centralised Accounts Payable team, located at the company’s Head Office at CVS House, Owen Road, Diss, Norfolk, IP22 4ER (email: AccountsPayable@cvsvets.com). To maximise the prompt payment of invoices, CVS encourages all suppliers to send their invoices directly to the Accounts Payable team in order that the invoice is registered as soon as possible on the company’s accounting system and promptly sent out to the business for approval.

Dispute Resolution Process

The CVS Group hasn’t published a formal dispute resolution document. However, all payment disputes for all Group companies are resolved in the same manner regardless of the size of the supplier. The company’s centralised Accounts Payable team will refer all disputed invoices to the member of staff requisitioning the goods or services for resolution. If required, the matter will be escalated within the company including involvement of Executive Directors where required. CVS endeavours to resolve all invoice disputes prior to the payment becoming due in order that no impact is made on expected payment terms.
