Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

It is the company's policy to agree appropriate payment terms with suppliers and to honour those payment terms based on the timely receipt of valid invoices. The company's standard payment terms are 28 days from receipt of invoice. In some instances, we contract with suppliers on their own payment terms which are usually less than the company's standard of 28 days from receipt of invoice. Wherever these differences arise, and so long they are stated within a mutually signed contract, we seek to honour to the supplier's own payment terms following the timely receipt of valid invoices.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

The company seeks to deal with all suppliers in a fair and reasonable manner, aiming to proactively respond to and address queries and/or challenges as soon as they arise. In the event that a financial dispute cannot be resolved by the Transport for Wales Purchase Ledger Team, it would then be escalated to the management team within the finance department. In the event of a contractual dispute, such as the delivery of obligations and/or performance, individual project teams are responsible for addressing it in the first instance, with escalated support provided by the Contract Management Team. Further support is also provided by the Supply Chain Team where multiple disputes become a common practice with any single supplier.
