Dispute Resolution Process

Where we have a dispute in respect of an invoice our policy is that we WILL notify the supplier of its nature in writing within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. In such circumstances we are entitled to withhold payment until such time as the dispute is resolved. All disputes are initially dealt with by our accounts payable team whose contact details are readily available to all suppliers. Where disputes are more significant we will resolve them in accordance with the process detailed in individual supplier contracts.
