How we pay you

How you can help us
To ensure that your payment is dealt with efficiently and to
avoid any delays we ask for the following:
- Submit the invoice in the format agreed in the contract or
purchase order.
- Quote the order number and contract title (where
applicable).
- Address it to the correct officer and location.
- Ensure that it adds up correctly.
- Include as much information as possible about what the payment
is for.
- Only include requests for payment of supplied goods and
services.
