In the absence of agreed payment terms with the supplier, the payment terms of SCB include a payment period of 45 days from receipt of a valid invoice. - Other payment-term information
Invoices shall describe the services and any other products supplied in sufficient detail so that tax (including, but not limited to, import or custom duties, service tax or withholding tax) is charged correctly. Invoices are required to quote the Bank’s 10-digit Purchase Order (PO) reference number generated from the bank’s procurement system for purchasing goods and services where applicable. Suppliers are requested to submit electronic format invoices by email to APUeInvoice.UK@sc.com.
- Dispute resolution process
The standard Contractual Agreement of SCB outlines the Dispute Resolution process.
A party claiming that a dispute has arisen in relation to the Contractual Agreement must notify the Authorised Representative of the other party to the dispute giving details of the dispute.
If any dispute arising out of the Contractual Agreement remains unresolved for five Working Days from the date on which the notice setting out the nature of the dispute is served by one party on the other, either party may request a meeting within a further five Working Days between senior personnel (as notified by each party to the other for this purpose) who shall have power to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved under this procedure either party shall be free to pursue alternative action in respect of that dispute.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
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.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
