Our Standard Payment Terms

Our Standard Payment Terms

We are a large diverse team who process all invoice payment requests received by the Trust, this is in excess of 250,000 invoices per year.  We use a combination of manual working and computer technology to achieve this task.  It is really important that you follow our standard procedures for submitting invoices as failure to do so may lead to delays and queries with your invoices.

Our standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of your invoice, generally payment is made no later than day 28, however sometimes invoices are placed in query due to factors outside of our control, if we contact you for further information then please ensure that this is provided promptly to ensure that the delays to payment are minimised.

We have a small minority of invoices that have specific contractual terms that are not our standard invoicing terms, if this is the case then your invoice will be paid as per these terms. 

Our preferred payment method is BACS payment and we do a BACS run every Tuesday and Thursday each week.   A BACS payment will take two days to clear so if your payment is sent by us on Tuesday your funds will be cleared on Thursday.

Occasionally we have alternative payment methods such as Cheque and CHAPS however there are strict Trust policies on use of alternative payment methods, it is our decision on which payment method we use.

This information is available in different languages and formats. Please contact Stefan Fletcher on 0115 9627938 for further information.
