Payment terms
Payment terms are 30 days from receipt of valid invoice.
The Council offers an Early Payment Scheme with a view to achieving greater efficiency in paying its suppliers, and as such improving its relationship with them.
The benefits of this to the Council's suppliers are:
· improved cash flow through early payment of their invoices by the Council - the Council's target is to pay invoices 10 days, or earlier, after the receipt of a valid invoice,
· increased efficiency of invoice processing via e-invoicing,
· prioritized invoice processing and query resolution,
· nominated commercial managers for enhanced channels of communication, and
· a shift in focus to service improvement rather than transactional processing.
