Details
This procurement policy note (PPN) restates the annual publication requirements under regulation 113(7) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. After March 2016, and then at the end of each financial year, contracting authorities are required to publish data demonstrating compliance with the obligation to pay invoices within 30 days to first tier suppliers/prime contractors over the previous 12 months.
This PPN supports the Public Contracts Regulations: statutory guidance for contracting authorities on paying undisputed invoices in 30 days down the supply chain.
