Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Invoices will be paid within a maximum of sixty (60) days from the invoice date by bank transfer to the account specified in the Supplier Information Form. Payments may only be made to a bank account held in the supplier's name and located in the country or jurisdiction in which the supplier is legally incorporated or registered.
- Dispute resolution process
Invoices with No PO are returned to the supplier to correct. Disputed invoices are queried between the purchaser and the supplier in the first instance. If the purchaser cannot get to a resolution the query is escalated to the accounts payable team to assist in resolution. Invoices are not approved for payment until the query is resolved.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
