Procurement Awareness Guide

Payments Standard pavment terms are 30 davs from end of month (EOM). We cannot pay on a number of days e.g. 28 days as we only have 2 payment runs per month (5th and 19th of the month). Suppliers should be instructed to deliver goods/services/works by either an official Purchase Order or Works Order prior to delivery. Goods/services/works must be receipted (GRN'd) on Agresso promptly once received or completed. Suppliers should send a valid invoice referencing the purchase/works order number. This will match if receipted and the invoice paid to the agreed payment terms with the supplier.

Where it is not a one off purchase, payments to suppliers must be staged (e.g. monthly payments). On completion of satisfactory works they have done . Payments in advance must not be made. Orders should not be split up to avoid the spend limits. Procurement can advise on risk options. Issues with supplier payment should be taken up with the Purchase Ledger Team .
