Dispute Resolution Process

The process for dispute resolution and complaints for qualifying contracts is set out in the terms and conditions for the good or services. A resolution is sought between the ordering manager (supported by the Procurement and Contracts team when required) and the supplier. ScotRail Trains operates a No PO, No Pay policy meaning all invoices submitted for payment will quote a valid Purchase Order where the goods/services being purchased has been previously approved. As a result there are limited disputes arising from purchases. ScotRail Trains works closely with suppliers when issues are identified to ensure invoices received are correct to allow prompt payment.
