Abellio ScotRail has not been trading during the 6 month reporting period, having ceased trading on 31 March 2022. The activity during the period has therefore reflected an unwinding of the trade creditors position and the resolution of legacy matters. Due to the nature of these legacy matters, and the additional checks that are required, the number of days to pay has lengthened. This has not been to the detriment of our suppliers who are aware of the processes and controls within the business in its current form.

Purchase Order Processed Invoices - Limited number of disputes arise for suppliers processed on this basis as amounts are pre-agreed prior to any commitment being made. Any actual cost variances to the agreed amount are assessed by the business, approved and raised with the supplier directly. In some cases, invoices are received without the correct information (for example, an incorrect/expired purchase order number). Abellio ScotRail proactively works with suppliers where issues are identified, so the supplier can provide the correct details and the invoice can be paid on time. For other invoices, any issues will arise on the approval of payment of the invoice by the business. Resolution is therefore handled by the ordering manager and the supplier. However it is key to note that Abellio ScotRail must maintain robust procure to pay policies and invoices received without a purchase order can cause delay to the procure-to-pay process and payment of invoices due. Where agreement cannot be reached in both of the above cases, this is escalated through the relevant business departments and management team (including Finance) to resolve.
