Paying Our Suppliers
About Payments
South Shropshire District Council uses many different suppliers to assist with the delivery of its services. The following explains how the Council pays for goods and services it has ordered.
How Orders are Placed
Before an officer of the council can place an order for goods or services from a supplier, an official order must be raised. This order will outline the goods or services required, the agreed price excluding VAT and the official order number. The order must be signed by an authorised officer before being issued.
Following the issue of the order the supplier provides the goods or services required.
How Orders are Processed
On completion of the above process the supplier should issue an invoice to the Council. This should be a VAT invoice addressed to the officer who ordered the goods or services. It should also quote the Council's official order number.
The invoice is reviewed by the officer who ordered the goods or services . If they are satisfied that the order has been delivered in the agreed way they will pass the invoice to Financial Services for payment.
How Payments are Made
Financial Services will arrange for payment of the invoice by cheque. The section currently produces creditor cheques twice a week on Wednedays and Fridays.
