Standard payment terms
S&G standard terms are 45 day payment terms for new contracts, and we request suppliers to extend payment terms to 45 days on contracts due for renewal, typically at contract anniversary. This is an on-going process, with some suppliers still on legacy terms of up to 90 days, and indeed some paid earlier than 45 days. Whilst 45 days will be the business standard term there will be exceptions where there is commercial benefit to both parties in agreeing alternative terms.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

If a payment dispute arises it is referred to the budget holder, who would normally manage the supply relationship on a day to day basis. In instances, this responsibility is delegated to a member of the relevant department/team. Payment disputes will be escalated in accordance the contractual terms which vary by supply/service. If necessary, the budget holder will request the advice/support of the Procurement & Commercial team who are experienced in dealing with the commercial management of suppliers and may have been a party to the original agreement.
