Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Payment terms are in accordance with those stated on the supplier invoices. Where new suppliers are added to our systems their payment terms are setup as part of the supplier profile. All payments made will pick up the terms in accordance to those recorded against the supplier profile on our accounting system. For payments requiring immediate payment these will be paid in the next payment run subject to all of the necessary approvals.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Any disputes would be dealt with in the first instance by contacting the budget holder who has been contracted with. Additionally, suppliers can contact the accounts payables team (invoices@mddus.com) where we will liaise with the budget holders who contracted with the suppliers. Issues can be escalated to the Executive Directors or Board in cases where disputes cannot be resolved by budget holders or the Finance team.
