Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Northern Ambition Academies Trust in general accepts the payment terms proposed by suppliers. In some cases payment is requested on receipt of invoice, so these suppliers are treated as having terms of zero days. Where suppliers do not propose terms, our default terms are to settle all valid invoices within 30 days. We endeavour to pay invoices from small businesses or sole traders as quickly as possible within these 30 days.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Any disagreements with amounts invoiced by suppliers will be raised by the individual responsible for the expenditure or a member of the finance team. Complaints by suppliers should be directed in the first instance to the individual responsible for the expenditure or the Trust’s Finance Manager. Should the matter remain unresolved this may be escalated to the Director of Finance and Operations.
