Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

As a business we do not have standard payment terms for our suppliers. We make payments based on our supplier’s payment terms which are predominantly 30 days. Occasionally suppliers may request a shorter payment term and, where this is the case, we will consider the request and pay accordingly.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Where a supplier has a complaint about payment of their invoices, they will contact the finance department of the school who the supply was made to. If the invoice is in dispute, our finance staff will normally have contacted the supplier in the first instance. If the late payment is due to an administrative error, then payment will be made immediately. If the payment is withheld due to a dispute, this will be reported to our Chief Finance Officer. Disputed invoices are very rare and are usually resolved within 60 days of the invoice being received.
