Dispute resolution process
It is the Company’s intention to pay suppliers on time. Where there is a standard query in respect of an invoice the Company’s process is to return the invoice to the supplier electronically detailing query information and instruction on how to re-present the invoice for future payment. Where there is a general query in respect of payment, suppliers are able to contact their dedicated account manager. Where a formal legal dispute is raised this is managed through operational teams, contract manager and legal team where required.
