Dispute Resolution Process
The Trust operates an electronic ordering system where a purchase order is raised and sent to the supplier. If suppliers do not use the PO reference on their invoices this can delay payment. If there are any queries on the invoice then finance contact the supplier to resolve. Payment is not made until the goods / service issue is resolved or a credit note is issued. This can cause payments to appear to be paid late as we will not make payment until all queries have been resolved. The system does not record the period in which the invoice was in dispute. The payments that are paid late are mainly attributable to 3 of our main suppliers where the goods ordered by their nature are low value high volume orders. We have contacted our main suppliers and none of them have any concerns over our payment practices and state that we pay on time.
