Supplying the council

The council is committed to payment of undisputed invoices in line with agreed payment terms. The contractor will submit invoices for payment promptly in accordance with the terms and conditions.

The council is a member of the Better Payment Practice Code whose aims are defined as:

• To pay undisputed bills when they fall due and to regularly reconcile statements
• Ensure that terms of payment are dealt with fully in purchasing negotiations
• Advise suppliers of any claims or disputes within half the normal invoice processing time
• Ensure that employees responsible for approving payments understand and implement the code
