Supplier payments

This is a reminder to all suppliers of Mid Devon District Council. When invoicing the Council, please could you ensure the following:

1. Invoices include a purchase order number – we can only pay invoices where a purchase order has been raised.
2. Invoices are sent to accountancy@middevon.gov.uk in PDF format – using other email addresses could delay payment.
3. Contract reference number to be added to the invoice if known.

Our standard payment terms are 30 days from the invoice date. Following the above will help us ensure invoices are paid by the due date.

As of 1 April 2025, any invoices received without an order number on it will be returned and delay payment.

Please direct any queries relating to invoices to the Accounts Payable team on 01884 234628, 01884 244370 or accountancy@middevon.gov.uk clearly quoting your creditor number, the invoice number, invoice date and purchase order number.

Payment by BACS

Payment to all suppliers are by BACS, which is a direct payment into a nominated bank account.

BACS payments are made weekly on Monday's and Thursday's, and therefore the cleared funds will appear in the bank account within three working days.

This is a secure method of payment, details of your bank account number and sort code are held in a password protected IT system.
