Documentation
-
To ensure prompt payment for goods and services rendered, it is imperative that all suppliers’ supporting documentation makes reference to a valid ECDC order.
-
Suppliers should always request from ECDC staff a valid order before commencing any work.
-
The only exception to the aforementioned will be in cases of emergencies.
-
In such instances suppliers must ensure that a valid order is obtained from the relevant ECDC staff member during the course of the next working day.
-
The unit does not process invoices without an order number.
Payment Process
-
When goods arrive or services are rendered the relevant manager signs that they have been satisfactorily received.
-
The invoice and order are then submitted to the Finance Unit to authorise payment.
-
The Finance Unit endeavors to issue cheques and effect payments for SMEs within three working days after receipt by the unit of all required documentation viz: invoice, order number and approval by unit head.
-
Non-SMEs are paid in accordance with normal accepted business practise or according to negotiated terms.
-
Suppliers should appreciate that although the unit endeavours to affect prompt payment, invoices and suppliers’ claims are often submitted to the regional offices where the service was rendered.
-
Time should be allowed for these documents to be forwarded to the unit at Head Office
-
The preferred payment method is electronic transfer. Suppliers are requested to supply their banking details on correspondence. This will ensure a prompt payment process.
