Approved Lists
We do not maintain an approved list for goods and
services.
Payments
We operate a computerised purchase ordering system and all
requests for goods and services must be made by official order. The
preferred transmission methods for purchase orders are by e-mail or
fax although they can also be printed.
Our preferred payment method is by BACS and again, we prefer to
transmit remittance advices by e-mail or fax. Our standard payment
terms are 28 days from the invoice date. Suppliers are asked
to quote both the purchase order number and their reference in our
payments system on all paperwork.
Consultants and Specialist Services
We currently do not maintain an approved list of
consultants and specialist professionals. Due to the multi-function
nature of this local authority the type of specialist/consultant
need varies considerably and are normally commissioned via existing
professional bodies or organisations or in some cases by
advertisement.
