Working with Wakefield

Our new supplier early payment scheme

We are introducing our new supplier early payment scheme called 'Working with Wakefield.'

This scheme aims to support businesses by ensuring that invoices are paid within 10 days, rather than the standard 30-day terms.

The goal of 'Working with Wakefield' is to help local small and medium-sized businesses improve their cash flow by receiving payments earlier. It also aims to foster stronger long-term working relationships between suppliers and Wakefield.

Even larger organisations and suppliers working with us can benefit from the scheme. They can receive early payment in exchange for a discounted rate.
If you are one of our suppliers and would like more information about 'Working with Wakefield,' please provide your details by completing our form.

Standard Terms and Conditions for the Provision of Goods and/or Services

These standard terms and conditions generally apply to the Council's purchase of goods and/or services.

However, there may be instances where the Council specifies different terms and conditions. This will be either through a competitive procurement process or in writing. Additionally, if a purchase order is issued following a call-off from a Framework Agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System, different terms and conditions may apply.
