Dispute Resolution Process

If there is a dispute relating to an invoice or a payment, we will work with the supplier to resolve the issue in a fair and timely manner. Disputes are resolved by discussion and agreement and are typically handled by the member of staff that holds the relationship with the supplier, in conjunction with the Procurement/Legal function (as required), and resolved in accordance with the terms of the contract. Invoices that are subject to dispute will not be paid until resolution. Once resolved, payment will be made in accordance with the terms of the contract.
