CONTACTS FOR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE HAVE CHANGED

As of 1 July 2024, contact details for sending invoices and resolving payment
queries have been updated - click to view


ELECTRONIC INVOICING

The BBC's preferred method is Electronic invoicing.


SUBMITTING INVOICES BY EMAIL OR POST

A scanned image of all invoices is created, so it is important that the invoice
is of good quality and easy to read. We recommend that the invoice is on white
A4 paper, clearly printed in black, and that highlighters have not been used. If
you are emailing an invoice it must be in PDF format.

To avoid delay in payment it is important that the invoice is legally compliant
and that it includes a valid purchase order number, PO line item number (if
applicable) and the details (name and telephone number) of your BBC contact.
Non-compliant invoices will be sent back to the supplier which may lead to a
delay in payment.

The following information must be provided on each invoice:

 * Addressed to the BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation or relevant BBC
   subsidiary. Department or programme title on its own is not sufficient
 * Supplier's name and address
 * The word 'invoice' (or if a credit, the words 'credit note')
 * Invoice number
 * Invoice date
 * Value and currency
 * Description of goods and services supplied
 * BBC purchase order number and PO line item number (if applicable)
 * Contact details of BBC representative
 * Any unique reference number or information requested by the BBC
   representative

If VAT is applied, the invoice should be split between the net value of goods
and services, the rate and amount of VAT, and the total value of the invoice. A
valid and current VAT number must also be displayed.

Please note that any invoice which does not comply will be returned to the
supplier for resubmission with the correct information.

WHERE TO SEND INVOICES

You can send us an invoice using these details (updated 1 July 2024):

 * Email address for PDF invoices
   
   bbc_apinvoices@bbc.co.uk (no change)

 * Postal address for paper invoices (by exception only)
   
   BBC Accounts Payable
   
   PO Box 7888
   
   BILSTON
   
   WV1 9RU


PAYMENT TERMS

In accordance with our Terms of Trade, the BBC will pay its suppliers such sums
as are due by the end of the month following the month in which the BBC has
determined the invoice to be valid and undisputed. Where specific contract
clauses are agreed which vary the terms of payment, these will take precedence.

Our Terms of Trade also include provision for late payment in accordance with
the November 1998 Act of Parliament. The BBC reserves the right to withhold
payment where the goods or services have not been provided in accordance with
the contract.

We expect our suppliers to pay any sums due to sub-contractors promptly and
within a period not exceeding that set out above.


AVOIDING DELAY IN PAYMENT

In order to avoid possible delays in payment it is essential that the invoice is
in line with the purchase order received from the BBC and the goods and services
received. Where these do not match, the invoice will require investigation.

Please be aware of the following when submitting an invoice:

 * The invoice must be compliant (see the submitting an invoice section above)
 * The invoice must reflect the quantity and price as per the purchase order.
   Any increase in price or quantity must be pre-agreed with the originator of
   the order before providing the additional goods or services and an amended
   purchase order will be provided if agreed
 * If the supplier's name and/or address on the invoice is different to that
   stated on the purchase order the change in details must be confirmed before
   the invoice can be processed. This can be done by sending a letter on headed
   paper to BBC Accounts Payable (address as per the purchase order) or you can
   send a pdf of the letter by email.


METHOD OF PAYMENT

Payments are made by TCS, the BBC's provider of financial transaction processing
services. Over 95% of invoices are paid via BACS and we expect new suppliers to
be paid by BACS.
